Convert from string to SqlMoney

I am trying to convert a string entered by a user into a text box into SqlMoney in order to store the price in a database. The data type of the price in the database is set as money. The code i am using to define this text box and the Product price is below.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. string s = textBox3.Text;
  2.       SqlMoney ProductPrice = SqlMoney.Parse(s);
But, for some reason when i enter any number into there, i am receiving an error:

A general error occured: Unable to cast object of type System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlMoney to type System.IConvertible. Couldnt store <5.00> in price column. Expected type is a decimal.

What should i do?

Hi,

Try this Code below
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. decimal value = Convert.ToDecimal(textBox3.Text);
  2. string sql = "Insert into YourTableNameHere values(Convert(money, '" + value + "')";
If the above Code doesn't work means, Please give your table structure here
