I need to use the Nuget package Humanizer to convert currency to English words equivalent as follows

 using Humanizer;

 AmountInWords = pmt.Amount.ToWords()

pmt.Amount is of type decimal and it represents the amount in figures

I get the following error

Error   CS1929  'decimal' does not contain a definition for 'ToWords' and the best extension method overload 'NumberToWordsExtension.ToWords(int, CultureInfo)' requires a receiver of type 'int'

I have checked the documentation at the following url and I am not yet able to find a way to resolve it

https://github.com/Humanizr/Humanizer#number-to-words

I will appreciate any guide to resolve this.

Thank you

  • I guess you'll have to humanize full Currency and fractional Currency separately. So for example "$35,70" become "Thirtyfive Dollars and seventy Cents". – Fildor Feb 09 '22 at 10:00
  • That would mean having to split the figure and humanizing the two parts separately. That is actually what I am planning to do if no other solution comes up here. But I wish there could be a better way – Josh Feb 09 '22 at 11:01

As far as I can see Humanizer doesn't have a built in solution to this. I did come across this GitHub project that someone posted that you might look at. It seems the suggestion of splitting into two numbers is the right approach.

Since, 'decimal' format does not contain a definition for 'ToWords' so it requires a receiver of type 'int'. So convert it into 'Int' then Try.

    using Humanizer;
    
    AmountInWords = Convert.ToInt64(pmt.Amount).ToWords()

Thanks & Regards
