How to pass decimal value from textbox to parameter

I am trying to create a save Button and it includes 2 values in TextBox controls that are considered currency in sql. They are decimal in the TextBox. How do I pass the value? I tried this to no avail:

decimal taxOpen = Convert.ToDecimal(taxOpenTextBox).Text;

Any help on the correct syntax would be great.

You need to access the Text property. You also should use TryParse, which returns false instead of throwing an exception if the parse fails:

decimal value;

if(!decimal.TryParse(taxOpenTextBox.Text, 
                     NumberStyles.Currency, 
                     NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo, 
                     out value))
  MessageBox.Show("Please enter a valid number");

The needed things are found in System.Globalization.

You need to get the value of the taxOpenTextBox, not the box itself.
