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.
