string without point to decimal

Question

I have this string "45043". How can I convert it to decimal 450.43 (i want to use cultureinfo)

tks

Answer 1

string s = "45043";
decimal d = decimal.Parse(s) / 100;

(I'm not really sure where CultureInfo comes into it. Do you want to convert the decimal back into a string or something like that?)

Answer 2

You'd have something like:

string x = "45043";
double num = Double.Parse(s, CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("de-DE").NumberFormat);

Just replace with the culture you want or derive it dynamically.

Answer 3

Using CultureInfo? You mean using commas in certain cultures and periods in others?

How about:

var str = "45043";
var strToDecimal = (decimal.Parse(str) / 100).ToString();
var strExplicit = (decimal.Parse(str) / 100).ToString(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat); // more explicit version of what's happening above.

Answer 4

To show TryParse and use of CultureInfo

string input = "45053";
decimal result;

if (decimal.TryParse(input, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Any, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, out result))
{
    result /= 100M;
}
else
{
    // invalid input, handle in whatever way you deem appropriate
}
