Source:
Decimal.cs

Tries to convert a UTF-8 character span containing the string representation of a number to its signed decimal equivalent.

public:
 static bool TryParse(ReadOnlySpan<System::Byte> utf8Text, [Runtime::InteropServices::Out] System::Decimal % result);
public static bool TryParse (ReadOnlySpan<byte> utf8Text, out decimal result);

ReadOnlySpan<Byte>

A span containing the UTF-8 characters representing the number to convert.

result
Decimal

When this method returns, contains the signed decimal value equivalent to the number contained in utf8Text if the conversion succeeded, or zero if the conversion failed. This parameter is passed uninitialized; any value originally supplied in result will be overwritten.

Examples

The following example uses the Decimal.TryParse(String, Decimal) method to convert the string representations of numeric values to Decimal values. It assumes that en-US is the current culture.

string value;
decimal number;

// Parse a floating-point value with a thousands separator.
value = "1,643.57";
if (Decimal.TryParse(value, out number))
   Console.WriteLine(number);
else
   Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", value);

// Parse a floating-point value with a currency symbol and a
// thousands separator.
value = "$1,643.57";
if (Decimal.TryParse(value, out number))
   Console.WriteLine(number);
else
   Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", value);

// Parse value in exponential notation.
value = "-1.643e6";
if (Decimal.TryParse(value, out number))
   Console.WriteLine(number);
else
   Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", value);

// Parse a negative integer value.
value = "-1689346178821";
if (Decimal.TryParse(value, out number))
   Console.WriteLine(number);
else
   Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", value);
// The example displays the following output to the console:
//       1643.57
//       Unable to parse '$1,643.57'.
//       Unable to parse '-1.643e6'.
//       -1689346178821
// Parse a floating-point value with a thousands separator.
let value = "1,643.57"
match Decimal.TryParse value with
| true, number ->
    printfn $"{number}"
| _ ->
    printfn $"Unable to parse '{value}'."

// Parse a floating-point value with a currency symbol and a
// thousands separator.
let value = "$1,643.57"
match Decimal.TryParse value with
| true, number ->
    printfn $"{number}"
| _ -> 
    printfn $"Unable to parse '{value}'."

// Parse value in exponential notation.
let value = "-1.643e6"
match Decimal.TryParse value with

    printfn $"{number}"

    printfn $"Unable to parse '{value}'."

Dim value As String
Dim number As Decimal

' Parse a floating-point value with a thousands separator.
value = "1,643.57"
If Decimal.TryParse(value, number) Then
   Console.WriteLine(number)
Else
   Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", value)      
End If

'       Unable to parse '-1.643e6'.
'       -1689346178821

Remarks

This overload differs from the Decimal.Parse(String) method by returning a Boolean value that indicates whether the parse operation succeeded instead of returning the parsed numeric value. It eliminates the need to use exception handling to test for a FormatException in the event that s is invalid and cannot be successfully parsed.

Parameter s contains a number of the form:

[ws][sign][digits,]digits[.fractional-digits][ws]

Elements in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. The following table describes each element.

Element Description
ws Optional white space.
sign An optional sign.
digits A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9.
, A culture-specific thousands separator symbol.
. A culture-specific decimal point symbol.
fractional-digits A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9.

Parameter s is interpreted using the NumberStyles.Number style. This means that white space and thousands separators are allowed but currency symbols are not. To explicitly define the elements (such as currency symbols, thousands separators, and white space) that can be present in s, use the Decimal.TryParse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider, Decimal) method overload.

Parameter s is parsed using the formatting information in a NumberFormatInfo object initialized for the current system culture. For more information, see CurrentInfo. To parse a string using the formatting information of some other specified culture, use the Decimal.TryParse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider, Decimal) method overload.

If necessary, the value of s is rounded using rounding to nearest.

A Decimal object has 29 digits of precision. If s represents a number that has more than 29 digits, but has a fractional part and is within the range of MaxValue and MinValue, the number is rounded, not truncated, to 29 digits using rounding to nearest.

If during a parse operation a separator is encountered in the s parameter, and the applicable currency or number decimal and group separators are the same, the parse operation assumes that the separator is a decimal separator rather than a group separator. For more information about separators, see CurrencyDecimalSeparator, NumberDecimalSeparator, CurrencyGroupSeparator, and NumberGroupSeparator.

Remarks

This overload differs from the Decimal.Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method by returning a Boolean value that indicates whether the parse operation succeeded instead of returning the parsed numeric value. It eliminates the need to use exception handling to test for a FormatException in the event that s is invalid and cannot be successfully parsed.

The style parameter defines the allowable format of the s parameter for the parse operation to succeed. It must be a combination of bit flags from the NumberStyles enumeration. The following NumberStyles members are not supported:

Depending on the value of style, the s parameter may include the following elements:

[ws][$][sign][digits,]digits[.fractional-digits][e[sign]digits][ws]

Elements in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. The following table describes each element.

Element Description
ws Optional white space. White space can appear at the beginning of s if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite flag. It can appear at the end of s if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite flag.
$ A culture-specific currency symbol. Its position in the string is defined by the NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyNegativePattern or NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyPositivePattern properties of the NumberFormatInfo object returned by the IFormatProvider.GetFormat method of the provider parameter. The currency symbol can appear in s if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol flag.
sign An optional sign.
digits A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9.
. A culture-specific decimal point symbol.
fractional-digits A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9.

The style parameter specifies the permitted format of the s parameter, and can be one or more NumberStyles enumerated constants combined using a bitwise OR operation. If style is null, s is interpreted using the NumberStyles.Number style.

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation such as a NumberFormatInfo or CultureInfo object. The provider parameter supplies culture-specific information used in parsing. If provider is null, the thread current culture is used.

A Decimal object has 29 digits of precision. If s represents a number that has more than 29 digits, but has a fractional part and is within the range of MaxValue and MinValue, the number is rounded, not truncated, to 29 digits using rounding to nearest.

If a separator is encountered in the s parameter during a parse operation, and the applicable currency or number decimal and group separators are the same, the parse operation assumes that the separator is a decimal separator rather than a group separator. For more information about separators, see CurrencyDecimalSeparator, NumberDecimalSeparator, CurrencyGroupSeparator, and NumberGroupSeparator.
