text box and SqlDecimal datatypes

[Mark]

Hi all, I have a DAL which takes in a value as shown below ready for my
MSSQL stored procedure.

protected SqlDecimal _annualLeave = SqlDecimal.Null;
public SqlDecimal AnnualLeave
{

get {return _annualLeave;}

set{ _annualLeave = value;}

}

I have a problem where when I try to pass in information from a textbox on a
ASP.NET page OR Winform the *damn* thing gets rounded to an Integer!

I thought I could just go..

((System.Data.SqlDecimal)AnnualLeave.Text)

Where AnnualLeave.Text is the value of my textbox on my form, but I received
"Cannot convert type 'string' to 'System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDecimal" error
(Which is fair enough)

So, I tried

((System.Data.SqlDecimal)(Convert.ToDecimal(Annual Leave.Text))

but for some reason, this rounds the number to an integer!! e.g. 12.2
becomes 12!!!!!

Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong here, it's been a long day
:P

Thanks
Mark
