How about this, but only works for one string value. So you need to get your string split by $ and then do the conversion while saving into the array or list

 using System.Globalization;
    //rest of your code

          string str = "$50,550.20";
          decimal decval;
          bool convt = decimal.TryParse(str, NumberStyles.Currency,
            CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat, out decval);
          if (convt) 
          Console.WriteLine(decval);
          Console.ReadLine();
