The value of the lbll.Content can't converted into double.

Try a parse first as follows:

C#

double value;
if(!Double.TryParse(lbll.Content, out value))
{
    //not a double value
}

else
{
    //you can use your double value here
}

Solution 1

Check the value of lbll.Content, it is not a valid double. You should use Double.TryParse Method[^] instead. It returns if conversion was successful or not , passes default value to your parameter and does not throw exception.
