Question

I am parsing a CSV file into an array. One element of array is .0000 I want to parse this as 0 but when I tried to parse .0000 using following methods it returns 1

fields[38].Substring(0,fields[38].IndexOf("."))  // expected 0, return 1

Convert.ToDecimal(fields[38])  // expected 0.00, return Exception

string.Equals(fields[38],".0000")   // expected true, return false

(int)decimal.Parse(fields[38])     // expected 0, return 1

Help Please !!!!!!!!

This works, not sure if there’s an easier way:

(int)(Decimal.Parse(val, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Float, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

Decimal.Parse Method (String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider)
