I just came upon this issue. I have a textbox that contains a value formatted to currency :
Decimal val = 567.3;
CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-GB");
string currency = val.ToString("C", ci);
this produces string : "£567.3 "
And in another place I needed the number from currency, so I had to convert the formatted currency back to decimal.
And here's the tip:
string currency = "£567.3 ";
CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-GB");
decimal val = Decimal.Parse(currency , NumberStyles.Currency, ci.NumberFormat);
and val is number 567.3 ... no error .. tadaaa
:)
