How to parse string to decimal with currency symbol?

Question

I have no idea why this is not working:

string s = \"12,00 €\";
var germanCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(\"de-DE\");
decimal d;
if (decimal.TryP         


        

Answer 1

Try this;

 string.Format(new CultureInfo("en-SG", false), "{0:c0}", 123423.083234);

It will convert 123423.083234 to $1,23,423 format.

Answer 2

Use NumberStyles.Currency instead of NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol

if (decimal.TryParse(s, NumberStyles.Currency, germanCulture, out d))

and the output for you code would be:

Decimal value: 12.00
