Hi Dave,

As for currency or decimal value, we can use the   System.Decimal.Parse
method(in C# just decimal.Parse), this method ake a string as the first
parameter, and we can provide an additional CultureInfo instance to specify
the locale(region) info when parsing decimal value of different regions.  
Also, for the string passed into this method, it can not contain currency
sign (like $, €). e.g:

==================
CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("de-DE");

       string dstr = null;

       dstr = "1.234,56";

       decimal d = decimal.Parse(dstr, ci);

       Response.Write("<br/>decimal: " + d);
=========================

Hope this helps.
