Hi. What am I doing wrong:

  foreach (DataRow dr1 in MyTable1.Rows)
  {

  reg[count] = (float)dr1["REG"];
  prem[count] = (float)dr1["PREM"];
  die[count] = (float)dr1["DIESEL"];
  eth[count]  = (float)dr1["ETH"];
  term[count] = reg[count]+prem[count]+die[count]+eth[count];
  count++;
  }

Uh oh. Specified cast is not valid. Do I have to box? I'm trying to cast an
object (pulled by SQL) to a float. I know, ref to val breach of etiquette.

Thanks!
