is price a number - regexp problem

I have something like that:

Code:

---

Regex reg = new Regex(@"^\d+(\.\d\d)?$");
if (!reg.IsMatch(book.price))
{
}

---

But I have an error:
Error 4 Argument 1: cannot convert from 'decimal' to 'string'


What should I do ?

is book.price of type deciaml?
then I suggest you write

Code:

---

book.price.ToString()

---

If book.price is decimal such the error points, the price is number, there is nothing to check.
