c# - convert this string into decimal

Question

Sounds easy but when I tried to achieve i'm stock about how is the formatter to make this conversion this are some examples of strings that i need to convert to decimal

00.24
48.34
01.24

Does anybody know how can i Accomplish this?? I tried like this

try
{
   decimal x =  Convert.ToDecimal("00.24", );
   //Which formatter do I need to pass??
   decimal x =  Convert.ToDecimal("00.24", Formatter???);
}
Catch(Exception e)
{
    throw new Exception()
}

But It doesn't work because the result it's 24D and i need 0.24D

Answer 1

I suspect your system culture is not English and has different number formatting rules. Try passing the invariant culture as the format provider:

decimal d = Convert.ToDecimal("00.24", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

You could also use Decimal.Parse:

decimal d = Decimal.Parse("00.24", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
