C# : Check value stored inside string object is decimal or not

Question

in C# , how can i check whether the value stored inside a string object( Ex : string strOrderId=\"435242A\") is decimal or not?

Answer 1

You can use Decimal.TryParse to check if the value can be converted to a Decimal type. You could also use Double.TryParse instead if you assign the result to a variable of type Double.

MSDN example:

string value = "1,643.57";
decimal number;
if (Decimal.TryParse(value, out number))
   Console.WriteLine(number);
else
   Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", value);
