Parse value with Currency symbol

Question

I have looked to multiple SO questions on parsing currency, the best (recommended) way seems to be the one I\'m trying below:

var payout = decimal.Parse(\"$2.10\         


        

Answer 1

Pertinent to your particular case, you may use the following code snippet:

var payout = decimal.Parse("$2.10".Replace("$",""));

If you don't know what the currency symbol would be, then try the following solution:

string _money = "$2.10";
var payout = decimal.Parse(_money.Substring(1));

Dealing with commas and decimal points is much more difficult: if this is the issue, refer to the solution given by member @un-lucky.

Hope this may help.
