How do I convert a currency string like $1,248.99 to a decimal in C#?

Answer 1

You could try this:

var value = double.Parse(currency, NumberStyles.Currency);

Answer 2

both Parse and TryParse have a numberstyle argument, so at its most simple

var data = "$1,248.99";
var outvalue = decimal.Parse(data,NumberStyles.Currency);

Answer 3

Check out Convert.ToDecimal(s) or decimal.Parse(s)

Answer 4

Try Convert.ToDecimal(String, IFormatProvider)
