NumericUpDown how to setvalue

Question

Hi I have a numericupdown box and I am trying to load the value of it each time the form loads.

I have tried the following with no joy

   string striko1value = clsData.GetStriko1GasReading();
        decimal striko1 = decimal.Parse(striko1value);
        Striko1Numeric.Value = Convert.ToDecimal(striko1);

I have also tried this

Striko1Numeric.Value = (striko1);

Anyone have any ideas about how I would do this or where I could read up on this.

Set a breakpoint over the first line of your code. Step over that instruction (F10) and then look at the value assigned to stiko1value. Tell us what you see. — Steve

Did that steve before i asked the question it holds the value that i want it too. The value stays there until the Convert.ToDecimal(striko1); then it does not set the value in the numeric updown — Inkey

try to hard code that and see Striko1Numeric.Maximum=100; Striko1Numeric.Minimum = 0; Striko1Numeric.Value = 10; — Bilal Hashmi

Supposing that your clsData.GetStriko1GasReading() effectively returns a string that can be interpreted as a decimal value, then you probably have a value that is outside the Minimum or Maximum value allowed to the NumericUpdown control

 string striko1value = clsData.GetStriko1GasReading(); 
 decimal striko1;
 if(decimal.TryParse(striko1value, out striko1))
 {
    if(striko1 > Striko1Numeric.Maximum ||  striko1 < Striko1Numeric.Minimum)
       MessageBox.Show("Value not allowed");
    else
        Striko1Numeric.Value = striko1; 
 }
 else
    MessageBox.Show("Not a valid decimal number");
