c# - Cannot implicitly convert type 'decimal' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Question

I'm coding in C#, and I need to do some multiplication with Decimal or Double values, however, I keep getting the error in the title.

Here's my code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        try
        {
            int caloriesBurned;

            if (radioButtonMale.Checked == true)
            {
                Decimal textBoxInt = Convert.ToDecimal(textBox1.Text);
                Decimal maleusage = 0.44M;

                caloriesBurned = Decimal.Multiply(maleusage, textBoxInt);
            }
        }
        catch (Exception error)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(error.ToString());
            MessageBox.Show("Indtast venligst et tal");
            throw;
        }
    }

EDIT: Solved it! Thanks guys! Newbie mistake. Sorry!

Answer 1

You have the possibility to declare the variable as decimal, like this:

decimal caloriesBurned;
