[C#]Need help converting empty string to double.


Question

Hi all , i'm quite a beginner in C# language , i wanted to write a program that uses OOP and requires the user to input an amount of cash and another amount to take it from cash , if the cash is lesser than the amount , it will display "Not enough cash." message . very simple ... here's my code :

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();            
            guy1 = new Guy();
            double x;
            if (double.TryParse(textBox2.Text, out x))
            {
                guy1.guycash = double.Parse(textBox2.Text);
            }
            guy1.guyname = textBox1.Text;            
        }

        Guy guy1 ;


        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {                     
             label5.Text = guy1.TakeCash(double.Parse(textBox3.Text)).ToString();
        }      

    }
}

And here's the Guy class code :

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    class Guy
    {
        private string name;
        private double cash;

        public string guyname
        {
            get { return name; }
            set { name = value; }
        }

        public double guycash
        {
            get { return cash ; }
            set { cash = value; }
        }


        public double TakeCash(double amount)
        {
            if (cash > amount)
            {
                cash -= amount;
                return cash;
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Notgh Cash.");
                return 0;
            }
        }

    }
}

ok , now bear with me please , using this in Public form1()

if (double.TryParse(textBox2.Text, out x))
            {
                guy1.guycash = double.Parse(textBox2.Text);
            }

requires that a numeric value must exist in textbox2 when the form loads up , but i want to leave it empty so that the user can enter a number in it !

if i left it empty the double.TryParse will return false and the whole program will broke since there will be no control holding guy1.guycash value ..

any help is appreciated , thanks in advance :)

You will need to handle the TextChanged event of the TextBox, or add a new button that the user clicks after entering the cash, and put the code that populates guy1's cash in there. Where the code is now it will only be run when the application is launched and the user will never have an opportunity to set the cash property. You also don't need to call parse again after tryparsing, x contains the value you want if the parse succeeds so you can just assign it to guycash.

    • Adobe releases all-new Photoshop app for Android devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Early this year, Adobe released an all-new Photoshop app for iOS devices. Designed from the ground up for smartphones, the app allows users to easily add, remove, adjust, and combine content, as well as access free Adobe Stock assets to create new visuals. Today, Adobe announced a similar, brand-new Photoshop app for Android devices, currently in beta. It’s important to note that this Android version is not intended to replace the desktop version of Photoshop. Instead, it offers access to select powerful Photoshop features—including layering, masking, and the new Generative Fill—within an easy-to-use mobile interface. During the beta phase, the following features are available to all users: Following the beta phase, users will need a new Photoshop Mobile & Web plan to access the premium features. The premium features list includes the ability to remove objects by brushing over them with the Remove Tool, the ability to use Clone Stamp to hide unwanted objects by cloning areas of an image, the ability to fill portions of an image with content sampled from other parts of the image with Content-Aware Fill, the ability to export using additional file formats (PSD, TIF, JPG, PNG), and more. You can download the Adobe Photoshop app from the Google Play Store if your device is running Android 11 or later and has at least 6GB of RAM (8GB or more is recommended for optimal performance).
