Question

I just want to know how to total formatted strings like $ 100,000.00
Ive use a split method but it doesnt work when to many “,” are there..

Answer 1

You can use the NumberStyles enumeration overload of the parse method in your example. e.g.

string money1 = "$100,000.00";
string money2 = "$300,500.00";
Double unformattedMoney = Double.Parse(money1, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Any);
Double unformattedMoney2 = Double.Parse(money2, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Any);

Console.WriteLine(unformattedMoney + unformattedMoney2);

As a side note, this doesn’t account for incorrect numbers and will throw an error if you attempt to format a bad string.
