How to get float value with SqlDataReader?

Question

In my database, I have NextStatDistanceTime value as a float. When \"float time = reader.GetFloat(0);\" line excecuted, it gives an error of

Answer 1

 while (reader.Read())
 {
     object initialTime = reader["NextStatDistanceTime"];
     float time;
     float.TryParse(initialTime.ToString(), out time);

     totaltime = totaltime + time;
     conn.Close();
 }

Try this, this will get the time from the Database then convert it to a float, you can just put the reader["NextStatDistanceTime] in the tryparse if you want but to make it clearer i have done it like this.

Any issues let me know
