Can Convert.Int32 handle Thousands separator?

[Tim Osborne]

I want to know if a call to Convert.Int32 can handle a Culture specific
string.

I have the following code:

string sText = "111,111,11 1";
int i;

i = Convert.Int32( sText );

This throws an exception.

So I try adding the following:

CultureInfo ci = Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture;

i = Convert.Int32( sText, ci.NumericInfo );

This also throws.

Do I have to remove the Thousands Separator character myself?

Hi Tim,

Suggest:

string sText = "111,111,11 1";
int i;

i = Int32.Parse(sTe xt, NumberStyles.Al lowThousands);

Tim,

On the culture you are using, check the NumberFormat property. On the
NumberFormatInf o instance returned, check the NumberGroupSepa rator property
to see the character used to separate groups.

Hope this helps.

I got there about the same time as you did.

Actually I went with NumberStyles.Nu mber.

Thanks a lot for the quick response though.
