Removing $ from string
-
I have currency values in a dropdownlist that are formatting to look like $50, $100 etc using {0:C0} I need to remove the $ symbol before converting the string to an Int32 I tried using LoanAmount.Replace("$", ""); but this doesnt work. What should I be doing ?

Well, how did you used it? Assuming
LoadAmountis string, you must doLoadAmount = LoadAmount.Replace("$", "")or use another string variable because strings are immutable types, original string CANNOT change.

string s="$400"; s=s.substring(1,3); int amnt=Convert.toInt32(s);

Would work fine if the amounts were all three digits. What happens with $50 or $4000?
only two letters away from being an asset

What if it's $4000
s=s.substring(1,s.Length);
int amnt=Convert.toInt32(s);:)
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who dont.

I was merely explaining the principle, the code can be modified to handle the full length of the string.

This will work: string temp=LoanAmount.Replace("$", "");
