c# - Convert string to decimal with format -

i need convert string decimal in c#, string have different formats.

for example:

"50085"

"500,85"

"500.85"

this should convert 500,85 in decimal. there simplified form convertion using format?

while decimal.parse() method looking for, have provide bit more information it. not automatically pick between 3 formats give, have tell format expecting (in form of iformatprovider). note iformatprovider, don't think "50085" pulled in.

the consistent thing see appears examples expect 2 decimal places of precision. if case, strip out periods , commas , divide 100.

maybe like:

public decimal? customparse(string incomingvalue) {     decimal val;     if (!decimal.tryparse(incomingvalue.replace(",", "").replace(".", ""), numberstyles.number, cultureinfo.invariantculture, out val))         return null;     return val / 100; }
