arguments must be compatible types schema.SObjectField, Integer

Hi,
 
Not sure why I am getting this error or how to get round it, the field has been defined as a Number(1,0) but I get an error when I compare this to 0 or 1. The filed has 3 possible values 0,1,2 currently.
 
 
 public String Edgecam_BGColor() {
  string BGColor = '';
  
  // ss_edgecam__c is defined as Number(1, 0)
  // but on the if's I get an error when saving
  // Comparison arguments must be compatible types
  // schema.SObjectField, Integer
  
  if (account.ss_edgecam__C == 0) {
   BGColor = '';
  } else if (account.ss_edgecam__C == 1) {
   BGColor = '#C0FFC0';
  } else {
   BGColor = '#FFC0C0';
  }
  return BGColor;

Even if you create a number as (1,0) in the UI it is stored as a Double 0.0.
Either add 0.0 to your compare in your if statements, or use Integer.valueOf(account.ss_edgecam__C) == 0.

Whare are you setting account? there doesn't appear to be any account varaible in scope, so your actually getting the metadata for account/field hence the error, account.ss_edgecam__c is returning a type of SObjectField, not the value of that field in a particular account row.

Hi,
 
I tried this both ways and when using the 0.0 1 get an error "arguments must be compatible types" when I use the Integer.valueOf I get an error "Method does not exist or incorrecty signature."
