how to compare two decimal values

[codecomm]

I'm trying to compare two decimal values:

if ((decimal)(txtMain.Text) < decimal.Parse(.90))
{
//"Green"
}
else
{
"Red"
}

...and I keep getting the error of can't use "<" operand with decimals.

well...first of all, you've got the parameters a bit off. The Parse method takes a string. Also, you need to use the Parse statement to convert a string to decimal.

Try:

if(decimal.Parse(txtMain.Text) < (decimal).90)
{
...
}
