Error to convert varchar to float using c#

I have a problem , i'm trying to do operations between values recorded(type float) in table of data , the problem is when i try to update value(result of the operation in textbox) in datable using combobox after maintaining opération , it shows me error (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 'Error converting data type varchar to float.'), So how can i resolve that !help please
This is a part a of my code in which the error exists
private void comboBox5_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
con.Open();
String query = "UPDATE Table_com SET Contents='" + textBox6.Text + "' WHERE Variable='" + comboBox5.Text + "'";
SqlDataAdapter SDA = new SqlDataAdapter(query, con);
SDA.SelectCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "select * from Table_com where Variable='" + comboBox5.SelectedItem.ToString() + "'";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dt);
con.Close();
MessageBox.Show("Variable mise à jour avec succés");
}

You cannot use float integer etc. values like text field as:
String query = "UPDATE Table_com SET Contents='" + textBox6.Text + "' WHERE Variable='" + comboBox5.Text + "'";
and your code really risky, you may use parameters like this, dont use string and convert your value to float :
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var ConnectionString = "YOUR CONNECTION STRING";
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString))
{
String query = "UPDATE Table_com SET Contents=#contents WHERE Variable=#variable";
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con))
{
cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.Add("#contents", SqlDbType.Float).Value = Convert.ToDouble(textBox6.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#variable", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = comboBox5.Text;
using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd))
{
da.Fill(dt);
}
}
}
}

this is what i tried refering to wikiCan answer
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(#"Data Source=DESKTOP-VEFPLGG\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=test;Integrated Security=True");
private void comboBox5_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
String query = "UPDATE Table_com SET Contents=#contents ";
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con))
{
cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.Add("#contents", SqlDbType.Float).Value = textBox6.Text;
//cmd.Parameters.Add("#variable", SqlDbType.Float).Value = Convert.ToDouble(comboBox5.Text);
using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd))
{
da.Fill(dt);
}
}
}

Out of Range Error while accessing date from SQL Server

I want to fetch the maximum value of date from the table. But I always get an 'OutofRangeException' error. I changed my query several times.
Due_Date column has date data type
Due_Date_Sample is a string var
Due_Date_var is a DateTime var
My code:
using (SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(Main.connectionString))
{
string commandString = "SELECT TOP 1 FORMAT(Due_Date,'dd-MM-yyyy') FROM Transactions WHERE Plot_Code='" + Plot_Code_var + "' ORDER BY Due_Date DESC;";
SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand(commandString, sqlCon);
sqlCon.Open();
SqlDataReader dr = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader();
while (dr.Read())
{
date_control_var = 2;
Due_Date_Sample = (dr["Due_Date"].ToString());
Due_Date_var = DateTime.Parse(Due_Date_Sample.ToString());
}
dr.Close();
}

You need to give an alias to the selected value, e.g.: FORMAT(Due_Date,'dd-MM-yyyy') as Due_Date

You can do this:
using (SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(Main.connectionString))
{
string commandString = "SELECT TOP 1 FORMAT(Due_Date,'dd-MM-yyyy') as Due_Date FROM Transactions where Plot_Code='" + Plot_Code_var + "' ORDER BY Due_Date DESC;";
SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand(commandString, sqlCon);
sqlCon.Open();
SqlDataReader dr = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader();
while (dr.Read())
{
date_control_var = 2;
Due_Date_Sample = (dr["Due_Date"].ToString());
Due_Date_var = DateTime.Parse(Due_Date_Sample.ToString());
}
dr.Close();
}

How to get ID against selected value of Dropdownlist C#

How can I get the ID against the selected value of a DropDownList which is bound with DB?
Then how can I insert this ID into another table?
To get ID code
string query = "Select ID From Table-1 Where Name=" + DropDwonList.SelectedValue;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
string getId = dr[0].ToString();
DropDownList Binding Code
string query = "Select ID, Name from Table-1";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conStr);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(query, con);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
DropDwonList.DataSource = dt;
DropDwonList.DataTextField = "Name";
DropDwonList.DataValueField = "ID";
DropDwonList.DataBind();
DropDwonList.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select Name--"));

1) string Id = DropDwonList.SelectedValue;
2) To insert into another table just use a query:
string Id = DropDwonList.SelectedValue;
using (SqlConnection sql = new SqlConnection("Your connection string"))
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
string query = #"INSERT INTO TABLE2(Column1)
VALUES(" + Id + ")";
cmd.CommandText = query;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Connection = sql;
sql.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
sql.Close();
}
You should do it this way because you always ensure that you are closing a connection after using it.

MS Access database not updating

Can anybody tell me why my database isn't updating? Here's my code:
protected void editSection_selected(object sender, EventArgs e) {
int index = grdPhone.SelectedIndex;
GridViewRow row = grdPhone.Rows[index+1];
string values = ((DropDownList)sender).SelectedValue;
int tempVal = Convert.ToInt32(values);
int caseage = Convert.ToInt32(keyId);
int value = tempVal;
/*OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(strConnstring);
//string query = "Update Categories set HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT=" + tempVal + " where parent_id=65 and ID=" + caseage;
string query = "Delete HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT from Categories where parent_id=65 and id=" + caseage;
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(query, con);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Dispose();
cmd.Dispose();
con.Close();
accPhoneNumbers.UpdateCommand = "Update Categories set HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT=" + tempVal + " where parent_id=65 and ID=" + caseage;
*/
string str = "UPDATE Categories SET HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT = ? WHERE ID=?";
using (OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(strConnstring))
{
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(str, con))
{
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT", tempVal);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("ID", caseage);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
Label1.Text += " editSection Success! (B) " + tempVal;
}
The commented part is my first solution (including the accPhoneNumbers.UpdateCommand).
I really need your help guys.

I hope this can help you:
string str = "UPDATE Categories SET HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT = #value1 WHERE ID=#value2";
using (OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(strConnstring))
{
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(str, con))
{
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#value1", tempVal);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#value2", caseage);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.close();
}
}

Display SQL query result in a label in asp.net

I'm trying to display the SQL query result in a label but it's not showing. This is my code:
string result = "SELECT ACTIVE FROM [dbo].[test] WHERE ID = '" + ID.Text + "' ";
SqlCommand showresult = new SqlCommand(result, conn);
conn.Open();
showresult.ExecuteNonQuery();
string actresult = ((string)showresult.ExecuteScalar());
ResultLabel.Text = actresult;
conn.Close();
Need help please. Thanks!

Try this one.
string result = "SELECT ACTIVE FROM [dbo].[test] WHERE ID = '" + ID.Text + "' ";
SqlCommand showresult = new SqlCommand(result, conn);
conn.Open();
ResultLabel.Text = showresult.ExecuteScalar().ToString();
conn.Close();

Is there a typo in there? You have two calls to the database:
showresult.ExecuteNonQuery();
This won't return a value and I'm not sure why you would have it there
string actresult = ((string)shresult.ExecuteScalar());
Unless you have a shresult variable, this query should error. What is the shresult variable?

Use SqlParameter to filter the result and call ExecuteScalar() or ExecuteReader() method.
string result = "SELECT ACTIVE FROM [dbo].[test] WHERE ID=#ID";
SqlCommand showresult = new SqlCommand(result, conn);
// If ID is int type
showresult.Parameters.Add("#ID",SqlDbType.Int).Value=ID.Txt;
// If ID is Varchar then
//showresult.Parameters.Add("#ID",SqlDbType.VarChar,10).Value=ID.Txt;
conn.Open();
string actresult = (string)showresult.ExecuteScalar();
conn.Close();
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(actresult))
ResultLabel.Text = actresult;
else
ResultLabel.Text="Not found";

using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
string result = "SELECT ACTIVE FROM [dbo].[test] WHERE ID = #id";
SqlCommand showresult = new SqlCommand(result, conn);
showresult.Parameters.AddWithValue("id", ID.Text);
conn.Open();
ResultLabel.Text = showresult.ExecuteScalar().ToString();
conn.Close();
}
This will dispose the connection and has no string concatenation in the query.

conn.Open();
string result = "SELECT ACTIVE FROM test WHERE ID = '" + ID.Text + "' ";
SqlCommand showresult = new SqlCommand(result, conn);
showresult.ExecuteNonQuery();
int actresult = ((int)showresult.ExecuteScalar());
ResultLabel.Text = actresult.Tostring();
conn.Close();
