Hi,
I had a problem when display the total amt from sql to textbox
------------------------------
create table get(Currentdate varchar(200),Expenses varchar(200),Amount decimal(38,2))-this a table
------------------------------
asp.net codings
--------------------------
mycomm.CommandText = "SELECT sum(Amount) from get"

dr = mycomm.ExecuteReader
While dr.Read()
TextBox6.Text = dr.GetDecimal(2)

End While
dr.Close()

--------------------------------------------------------------
Error:
Index was outside the bounds of the array.
how i rectify the error
Thanks in advance

Try:

TextBox6.Text = dr(0).ToString

I don't know VB, so however the syntax is supposed to be I have no clue, but this is the idea.

Because you're only selecting a single field, the reader only has that field, so it's at index 0 as far as the reader is concerned.
