C#, Operator '*' cannot be applied to operands of type 'double' and 'decimal'

Question

This error should be a simple one but I cant seem to make it work. The problem lies in the fact that this very same code works earlier in the program. I don's see any reason for it to be sending an error on this instance and not the four previous ones. Reference the code below, and feel free to provide any criticism you may have as it should make me better. If it matters, I am using Sharp Develop 2.2.

Here is an example of the code that works:

void calc2Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb2_fla.Text) & String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb2_e.Text) | String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb2_fla.Text) & String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb2_e.Text) | String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb2_e.Text))
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Enter either kVA and Voltage or FLA and Voltage", "Invalid Data Entry", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
    }       

        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb2_kva.Text) & !String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb2_e.Text))
    { 
            decimal x, y, z;
            x = decimal.Parse(tb2_kva.Text);      
            y = decimal.Parse(tb2_e.Text);
            z = (x * 1000) / (1.732050808m * y); //the m at the end of the decimal allows for the multiplication of decimals    
            tb2_fla.Text = z.ToString();
            tb2_fla.Text = Math.Round(z,2).ToString();
    }
        else
    {
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb2_fla.Text) & !String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb2_e.Text))
    { 
            decimal x, y, z;
            x = decimal.Parse(tb2_fla.Text);      
            y = decimal.Parse(tb2_e.Text);
            z = (x * y * 1.732050808m) / 1000; //the m at the end of the decimal allows for the multiplication of decimals  
            tb2_kva.Text = Math.Round(z,2).ToString();

    }

Here is the example of the code that sends the error in the subject line of this post:

void Calc4Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_fla.Text) && String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_e.Text) || String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_kw.Text) & String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_e.Text) || String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_e.Text))
        {   //If values are entered improperly, the following message box will appear
        MessageBox.Show("Enter either FLA and Voltage or kW and Voltage", "Invalid Data Entry", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
        }   


        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_fla.Text)&& !String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_e.Text)&& String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_kw.Text))
        {//If the user eneters FLA and Voltage calculate for kW

            decimal x, y, z;
            x = decimal.Parse(tb4_fla.Text);
            y = decimal.Parse(tb4_e.Text);
            z = (x*y)*(.8 * 1.732050808m);
            tb4_kw.Text = Math.Round(z,0).ToString();

        }               

        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_kw.Text) && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_e.Text) && String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb4_fla.Text))
        {;//If the user enters kW and Voltage calculate for FLA
            decimal x, y, z;
            x = decimal.Parse(tb4_kw.Text);
            y = decimal.Parse(tb4_e.Text);
            z = (1000 * x)/(y * 1.732050808m)* .8;
            tb4_fla.Text = Math.Round(z,0).ToString();
        }

    }

I appreciate any help that I can get. Thank you.

Answer 1

.8m instead of .8
