title: Cannot implicitly convert type 'int?' to 'int'.
body: <p>I'm getting the error "Cannot implicitly convert type 'int?' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)" on my OrdersPerHour at the return line. I'm not sure why because my C# skills are not that advanced. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <pre><code>static int OrdersPerHour(string User)
  {
      int? OrdersPerHour;
      OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(strAccessConn);
      DateTime curTime = DateTime.Now;        
  
      try
      {
          string query = "SELECT COUNT(ControlNumber) FROM Log WHERE DateChanged &gt; #" + curTime.AddHours(-1) + "# AND User = '" + User + "' AND Log.EndStatus in ('Needs Review', 'Check Search', 'Vision Delivery', 'CA Review', '1TSI To Be Delivered');";
          OleDbCommand dbcommand = new OleDbCommand(query, conn);
          dbcommand.Connection.Open();
          dbcommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
          OrdersPerHour = (int?)dbcommand.ExecuteScalar();
  
          Console.WriteLine("Orders per hour for " + User + " is " + OrdersPerHour);            
      }
      catch (OleDbException ex)
      {
  
      }
      finally
      {
          conn.Close();
      }
      return OrdersPerHour;
  }
