Convert String with a number and string to an INT value C#

Question

I have a value of money such as $40,000. I want to convert this to a int. I already tried int.Parse(number), int.TryParse(), and Convert.ToInt32(), but non work.

How can I convert $40,000 to 40000 as an int value?

First remove the `$` and the `,`, then parse it. – Shayki Abramczyk Sep 25 '19 at 14:09 — Shayki Abramczyk, Sep 25 '19 at 14:09
Parse as `Decimal` (`double`) then cast to `int` – Dmitry Bychenko Sep 25 '19 at 14:09 — Dmitry Bychenko, Sep 25 '19 at 14:09

Parse as decimal (double) then cast to int:

  string source = "$40,000";

  Decimal money = Decimal.Parse( 
    source,                               // source should be treated as
    NumberStyles.Currency,                // currency 
    CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US")); // of the United States

  // truncation: 3.95 -> 3
  int result = (int)money; 
  // rounding: 3.95 -> 4
  // int result = (int)(money > 0 ? money + 0.50M : money - 0.50M);

Or if you are sure that no cents can appear (say, "$39,999.95" or "$40,000.05")

  string source = "$40,000";

  int result = int.Parse( 
    source,                               // source should be treated as
    NumberStyles.Currency,                // currency 
    CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US")); // of the United States

string moneyAmount = "$40,000";
moneyAmount = moneyAmount.Replace("$", "").Replace(",", "");

return int.Parse(moneyAmount);
