Problem parsing currency text to decimal type

by

How about using:

decimal d = decimal.Parse("$45.00", NumberStyles.Currency);

The MSDN documentation on Decimal.Parse states:

“The s parameter is interpreted using the NumberStyles.Number style. This means that white space and thousands separators are allowed but currency symbols are not. To explicitly define the elements (such as currency symbols, thousands separators, and white space) that can be present in s, use the Decimal.Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method
