Covert currenct string to decimal data type? 2

[codemech]

How would I convert a currency string to a decimal?

I type "$100.95" in a text box and then want to store it as a decimal.

decimal d = txtPrice.Text;

This throws an exception.


Thanks,

Try this:

Convert.ToDouble(txtPrice.Text);

You may need this to allow for the currency symbol:

Decimal.Parse(txtPrice.Text, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Currency)

Thanks SHelton! That is a beautiful line of code. I new it was out there but I couldn’t quite craft it.
