Decimal.TryParse doesn't parse my decimal value

Question

When I tried to convert something like 0.1 (from user in textbox), My value b is always false.

bool b = Decimal.TryParse(\"0.1\", out value);

Answer 1

Use Culture in overload method

Answer 2

Specify the culture for the parsing. Your current culture uses some different number format, probably 0,1.

This will successfully parse the string:

bool b = Decimal.TryParse("0.1", NumberStyles.Any, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out value);

Answer 3

Too late to the party, but I was going to suggest forcing the culuture to en-US but Invariant is a better sln

decimal value;
bool b = Decimal.TryParse("0.1", NumberStyles.Any, new CultureInfo("en-US"), out value);
