Hi there.

I need to convert from Currency to normal string.

Value $2 500.00 needs to be converted to 2500 OR
$2 499.99 to 2499.99

I tried

string test = Convert.ToString(Total.Text.Replace("$", "").Replace(".", ""));

but then i get the value 250000 or 249999 which brings my calculation into the millions.

Any help please?
Thanx

Replace the double quotation marks in split with single once then it works. However, it converts $2 499.99 to 2499 and i still need the .99

Solution 2

Try this,

C#

string s = "$123,456.78";
       decimal value;
       bool flag = decimal.TryParse(s,NumberStyles.Currency,CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat,out value);
       if (flag)
       {
           Console.WriteLine("Entered Amount is :" + value);
       }
