Parsing percentage % to double

[Mike9900]

I use this code, but I get exception:

String num = "29%";
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo ni = new
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo(); ni.PercentSymbol = "%";
double nums = double.Parse(num, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Any, ni);

Is there a way to parse the percent value by using IFormatProvider?

How about:

String num = "29%";
double nums = double.Parse(num.Substring(0, num.IndexOf('%'))) / 100D;
