Narrative:

I landed runway 17C and was given taxi instructions to taxi via M; el to hold short runway 17R. With setting sun I confused runway 17R and the taxiway. As we rolled up to the hold short line the first officer yelled 'hold short.' at that point; I realized I confused the runway and taxiway in front of me. I rolled beyond the hold short line; coming to a stop. Tower canceled takeoff clearance for a departing aircraft and cleared us to cross runway 17R.
