Exceptions
| Exception Type | Condition |

| SqlNullValueException | The value is null. |
| InvalidOperationException | The operation is not valid. The SqlCeDataReader may be positioned after the last row in the result set. |
Remarks
No conversions are performed; therefore, the data retrieved must already be a Decimal object.
The maximum size of the SQL Server CE decimal is greater than the maximum size of Decimal. For example, an overflow can occur when SqlCeDataReader is reading values that are either greater than Decimal.MaxValue or lesser than Decimal.MinValue.
Call IsDBNull to check for null values before calling this method.
