C# Decimal Parse(String, NumberStyles)

Description

Decimal Parse(String, NumberStyles) converts the string representation of a number in a specified style to its Decimal equivalent.

Syntax

Decimal.Parse(String, NumberStyles) has the following syntax.


public static decimal Parse(
  string s,
  NumberStyles style
)

Parameters

Decimal.Parse(String, NumberStyles) has the following parameters.

s - The string representation of the number to convert.
style - A bitwise combination of NumberStyles values that indicates the style elements that can be present in s. A typical value to specify is Number.

Returns

Decimal.Parse(String, NumberStyles) method returns The Decimal number equivalent to the number contained in s as specified by style.

Example

The following code example uses the Parse(String, NumberStyles) method to parse the string representations of Decimal values using the en-US culture.


using System;/* ww w .j ava 2  s. co m*/
using System.Globalization;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    string value;
    decimal number;
    NumberStyles style;
    
    // Parse string with a floating point value using NumberStyles.None.  
    value = "1234.12";
    style = NumberStyles.None;
    
    number = Decimal.Parse(value, style);  
    System.Console.WriteLine("'{0}' converted to {1}.", value, number);
    
    // Parse string with a floating point value and allow decimal point. 
    style = NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint;
    number = Decimal.Parse(value, style);  
    System.Console.WriteLine("'{0}' converted to {1}.", value, number);
    
    
    // Parse string with negative value in parentheses 
    value = "(1,234.34)";
    style = NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint | NumberStyles.AllowThousands | 
            NumberStyles.AllowParentheses; 
    number = Decimal.Parse(value, style);  
    System.Console.WriteLine("'{0}' converted to {1}.", value, number);
    
    
    // Parse string using Number style 
    value = " -12,234.49 ";
    style = NumberStyles.Number;
    number = Decimal.Parse(value, style);  
    System.Console.WriteLine("'{0}' converted to {1}.", value, number);
    
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
