Answer 1

This is pretty messed up and I am not sure if all of you strings will look the same, but in case they do this might do the trick:

string str = ",0,100.12";
decimal number;
bool converted = decimal.TryParse(str.Substring(str.LastIndexOf(",") + 1), out number);

The variable converted will tell you whether or not your string was converted and you will not an exception.

Good luck!
