Convert string to decimal without losing the period

Question

I have a numerical value in a string: 12.50000

When i want to convert that string to decimal using Convert.ToDecimal() it deletes the period and it becomes 1250000.

Is there a way to stop this? Because the final value is supposed to be 12.5, not 1250000.

Is it enough to just tell you to fix mistake in your code or you want to show it and get better help? See [mcve]. — Sinatr, May 29 '20 at 11:14
double.Parse("3.5", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) shoulddo it — Vilsad P P, May 29 '20 at 11:17

private void Test()
{
    var str = "12.50000";
    var y = decimal.TryParse(str, out var x);
    Debug.WriteLine(x);
}

why not using decimal.TryParse ?

That will still fail for the OP (while possibly working for you), for the same reason: the current applicable Culture – Hans Keﬆing May 29 '20 at 12:30
@HansKeﬆing. you are right. And we are developers , so we should consider all posiblities that we should. – goldii May 29 '20 at 15:38
