Filling textboxes with results from a stored procedure

[Eva]

Hi

I have 2 comboboxes on my form that gathers 2 parameters: The Caravan_Name and the caravan_Length. these 2 values that the user selects are placed into a stored procedure as parameters. The stored procedure is run on the CBoxEditCaravan_Length_SelectedIndexChange
What i want to achieve is to fill the textboxes that are on my form with the results of this query. can someone tell me how i can do this?? I have tried the code below but i keep getting a message that pops up stating ....
cast from string "Length" to type 'integer' is not valid
this message appears everytime i try to change the caravan_length in the combobox

here is my code i tried

'Display the caravan length based on the caravan name selected
Dim Cn As New SqlConnection("data source=PARAGLAPTOP\VSdotNET;initial catalog=CaravanDBLapSQLServ;integrated security=SSPI;persist security info=False;workstation id=PARAGLAPTOP;packet size=4096"

Dim cmdCaraDetails As New SqlCommand("SPSelCaraDetailsOnCaraNameLength", Cn
cmdCaraDetails.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedur

'declare the parameter
cmdCaraDetails.Parameters.Add("@CaraName", SqlDbType.Char, 50
cmdCaraDetails.Parameters.Add("@Length", SqlDbType.Char, 10
'now set the value
cmdCaraDetails.Parameters("@CaraName").Value = CBoxEditCaraName.SelectedIte
cmdCaraDetails.Parameters("@Length").Value = CBoxEditCaraLength.SelectedIte

Tr
Cn.Open(
Dim reader5 As SqlDataReade
reader5 = cmdCaraDetails.ExecuteReader(
While reader5.Rea
txtLength.Text = (reader5.GetString("Length")
txtCaraName.Text = (reader5.GetString("Caravan_Model")
txtBeds.Text = (reader5.GetInt16("Beds")
txtPrice.Text = (reader5.GetSqlMoney("Cost")
End Whil
Catch ex As Exceptio
MsgBox(ex.Message
Finall
Cn.Close(
End Tr

the following line (txtPrice.Text = (reader5.GetSqlMoney("Cost"))
in the code above is also highlighted with a message stating...
Value of type 'System.Data.Sqltypes.SqlMoney' cannot be converted to 'String'

can someone plz tell me what i am doing wrong
Can i use the sqldatareader to place single values into a textbox? Im not to sure if this is the right way to go about this??

Hi Eva,

Converting the SqlMoney value to string before assigning it to the TextBox
text value will solve the cast error.
ie., txtPrice.Text = reader5.GetSqlMoney("Cost").ToString()

Also check the data type of the "Length" field in the DB. looks like it is
defined as an integer field.
