Decimal.TryParse and Convert.ToDecimal
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/89203/difference-between-convert-todecimalstring-decimal-parsestring

One factor that you might not have thought of is the Decimal.TryParse method. Both Convert.ToDecimal and Parse throw exceptions if they cannot convert the string to the proper decimal format. The TryParse method gives you a nice pattern for input validation.

decimal result;

if (decimal.TryParse(”5.0″, out result))

; // you have a valid decimal to do as you please, no exception.

else

; // uh-oh. error message time!

This pattern is very incredibly awesome for error-checking user input.
