Remarks

The Decimal value returned by this method contains a maximum of seven significant digits. If the value parameter contains more than seven significant digits, it is rounded using rounding to nearest. The following example illustrates how the ToDecimal(Single) method uses rounding to nearest to return a Decimal value with seven significant digits.

Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDecimal(1234567500.12F));  // Displays 1234568000
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDecimal(1234568500.12F));  // Displays 1234568000

Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDecimal(10.980365F));      // Displays 10.98036
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDecimal(10.980355F));      // Displays 10.98036
printfn $"{Convert.ToDecimal 1234567500.12F}"  // Displays 1234568000

ToDecimal(String)

Source:
Convert.cs
Source:
Convert.cs
Source:
Convert.cs

Converts the specified string representation of a number to an equivalent decimal number.

public:
 static System::Decimal ToDecimal(System::String ^ value);
public static decimal ToDecimal (string value);
public static decimal ToDecimal (string? value);
static member ToDecimal : string -> decimal
Public Shared Function ToDecimal (value As String) As Decimal

Parameters

value
String

A string that contains a number to convert.

Returns

A decimal number that is equivalent to the number in value, or 0 (zero) if value is null.

Exceptions

value is not a number in a valid format.

value represents a number that is less than Decimal.MinValue or greater than Decimal.MaxValue.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of ToDecimal. It attempts to convert a String to a Decimal, and throws the possible exceptions that may arise during the conversion.

public:
   void ConvertStringDecimal( String^ stringVal )
   {
      Decimal decimalVal = 0;

      try
      {
         decimalVal = System::Convert::ToDecimal( stringVal );

         decimalVal );
      }
      catch ( System::OverflowException^ ) 
      {
         System::Console::WriteLine(
            "The conversion from String to decimal overflowed." );
      }
      catch ( System::FormatException^ ) 
      {
         System::Console::WriteLine(
            "The String is not formatted as a decimal." );
      }
      catch ( System::ArgumentNullException^ ) 
      {
         System::Console::WriteLine( "The String is 0." );
      }
      
      // Decimal to String conversion will not overflow.
      stringVal = System::Convert::ToString( decimalVal );
      System::Console::WriteLine(
         "The decimal as a String is {0}.", stringVal );
   }
public void ConvertStringDecimal(string stringVal) {
    decimal decimalVal = 0;
    
    try {
        decimalVal = System.Convert.ToDecimal(stringVal);
        System.Console.WriteLine(
            "The string as a decimal is {0}.", decimalVal);
    }
    catch (System.OverflowException){
        System.Console.WriteLine(
            "The conversion from string to decimal overflowed.");
    }
    catch (System.FormatException) {
        System.Console.WriteLine(
            "The string is not formatted as a decimal.");
    }
    catch (System.ArgumentNullException) {
        System.Console.WriteLine(
            "The string is null.");
    }

    // Decimal to string conversion will not overflow.
    stringVal = System.Convert.ToString(decimalVal);
    System.Console.WriteLine(
        "The decimal as a string is {0}.", stringVal);
}
let convertStringDecimal (stringVal: string) =
    let decimalVal = 0m

    try
        let decimalVal = Convert.ToDecimal(stringVal)
        printfn $"The string as a decimal is {decimalVal}."
    with
    | :? OverflowException ->
        printfn "The conversion from string to decimal overflowed."
    | :? FormatException ->
        printfn "The string is not formatted as a decimal."
    | :? ArgumentNullException ->
        printfn "The string is null."

    // Decimal to string conversion will not overflow.
    let stringVal = Convert.ToString decimalVal
    printfn $"The decimal as a string is {stringVal}."
Public Sub ConvertStringDecimal(ByVal stringVal As String)
    Dim decimalVal As Decimal = 0

    Try
        decimalVal = System.Convert.ToDecimal(stringVal)
        System.Console.WriteLine("The string as a decimal is {0}.", _
                                  decimalVal)
    Catch exception As System.OverflowException
        System.Console.WriteLine( _
            "Overflow in string-to-decimal conversion.")
    Catch exception As System.FormatException
        System.Console.WriteLine( _
            "The string is not formatted as a decimal.")
    Catch exception As System.ArgumentException
        System.Console.WriteLine("The string is null.")
    End Try

    ' Decimal to string conversion will not overflow.
    stringVal = System.Convert.ToString(decimalVal)
    System.Console.WriteLine("The decimal as a string is {0}.", _
                              stringVal)
End Sub

Remarks

Using the ToDecimal(String) method is equivalent to passing value to the Decimal.Parse(String) method. value is interpreted by using the formatting conventions of the current culture.

If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the Decimal.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

Remarks

The return value is the result of invoking the Decimal.Parse method on value.

provider is an IFormatProvider instance that obtains a NumberFormatInfo object. The NumberFormatInfo object provides culture-specific information about the format of value. If provider is null, the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture is used.

If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the Decimal.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

The following example shows that when a Temperature object is passed as a parameter to the ToDecimal(Object, IFormatProvider) method, the IConvertible.ToDecimal implementation of the Temperature class is called to perform the conversion.

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Temperature cold = new Temperature(-40);
      Temperature freezing = new Temperature(0);
      Temperature boiling = new Temperature(100);

      Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDecimal(cold, null));
      Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDecimal(freezing, null));
      Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDecimal(boiling, null));
   }
}
// The example dosplays the following output:
//       -40
//       0
//       100
let cold = Temperature -40
let freezing = Temperature 0
let boiling = Temperature 100

printfn $"{Convert.ToDecimal(cold, null)}"
printfn $"{Convert.ToDecimal(freezing, null)}"
printfn $"{Convert.ToDecimal(boiling, null)}"
// The example dosplays the following output:
//       -40
//       0
//       100
Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim cold As New Temperature(-40)
      Dim freezing As New Temperature(0)
      Dim boiling As New Temperature(100)
      
      Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDecimal(cold, Nothing))
      Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDecimal(freezing, Nothing))
      Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDecimal(boiling, Nothing))
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       -40
'       0
'       100

Remarks

The return value is the result of invoking the IConvertible.ToDecimal method of the underlying type of value.

provider enables the user to specify culture-specific conversion information about the contents of value. The base types ignore provider; however, the parameter may be used if value is a user-defined type that implements the IConvertible interface.
