Store the text value in a radio button in a decimal variable using Visual Studio 2012, c#

Question

I currently have 3 radio buttons in 3 groups, and I just needed to pull the text value from the currently checked radio button in the each group and store it in the decimal value. Any ideas?

My current code:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

    private void label4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

    private void radioButton1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

    private void btnCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        decimal loanAmount; 
        decimal interestRate;
        Int16 numberOfPayments;
        decimal monthlyPayment;

        // create the web service object
        ISULoanLeaseCalculatorService myCalcWS = new ISULoanLeaseCalculatorService();

        monthlyPayment = (decimal)myCalcWS.LoanMonthlyPayment(
        Convert.ToDouble(loanAmount),
        Convert.ToDouble(interestRate),
        Convert.ToDouble(numberOfPayments));

    }
}

A radio button has the value "on" or "off". I assume you mean the radiobutton's label text is a decimal value? — Simon Whitehead, Apr 21 '14 at 22:45
Use WPF, bind with a converter. We need more information to help much more. You haven't even specified what tech you are using (Winforms, WPF, ASP?) — BradleyDotNET, Apr 21 '14 at 22:45
Why do you need to store in a decimal Variable? I prefer to save the radio buttons in a group to an enum. Radion Button Group: ( ) A ( ) B => Enum: enum enumName { A, B } — Rene Hilgers, Apr 21 '14 at 22:50
You should be able to delete your own questions, just click the "delete" button below the tags. — BradleyDotNET, Apr 21 '14 at 23:50
Use the "flag" link and ask a moderator to delete it. Please do not deface your question. But also consider why you think it needs to be deleted. — Cody Gray - on strike, Apr 21 '14 at 23:56
I did flag it already, I've been waiting for it to be deleted. — user3431449, Apr 22 '14 at 00:08
Then keep on waiting. Your current strategy is asking more for a ban. — Cody Gray - on strike, Apr 22 '14 at 00:31

You can react to the CheckedChanged event whenever a button is clicked.

Then grab the text associated with the button from the Text property and try to parse it:

decimal myDecimalValue;

bool success = decimal.TryParse(rb.Text, out myDecimalValue);
if (!success) ShowSomeErrorMessage();
