Question

Code :

int TopAttuale = Int32.Parse("1579.998779296875");

it says

System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

But that’s what I have. How can I convert that string into INT (so 1579, I don’t care about the comma)?

Answer 1

It sounds like you should parse it as a decimal first, then just cast to int. (I’d use decimal rather than double as you’ve really got decimal input; decimal will represent your source data more accurately. It shouldn’t make any difference though, by the time you cast it.)

// Parse using the invariant culture so that it always uses "." as the
// decimal separator
decimal parsed = decimal.Parse(text, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
int value = (int) parsed;

Alternatively, see if there’s a decimal point, and if so trim everything after it, then parse the result.
