Specified cast is not valid. Is it because I am attempting to cast an object?

Question

I have the following C# code that I am using to attempt to query an oracle database. I am simply trying to get the numeric result so that I can output it to the console and eventually hold it in a variable.

I keep getting the following error though:

System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataReader.GetInt32(Int32 i)

I am using VS 2012 on a windows professional machine. Please let me know if I need to add additional info. Any help greatly appreciated.

            //int num = rdr.GetInt32(0);
            //Console.WriteLine(count);

Answer 1

use ExecuteScalar

dbConnection.Open();
OracleCommand comm = new OracleCommand(query, dbConnection);               
decimal count = (decimal)comm.ExecuteScalar();
Console.WriteLine(count);              
Console.WriteLine("Connecting Okay");
