int.TryParse() returns false for "#.##"

c#, tryparse

Solution

public IEnumerable<object> ReportView(string param1, string param2)
{
  decimal tmp;
  int storeId = decimal.TryParse(param1, out tmp) ? (int)tmp : 0;
  int titleId = decimal.TryParse(param2, out tmp) ? (int)tmp : 0;
  IEnumerable<object> detailView = new Report().GetData(storeId, titleId);
  return detailView;
}

The above will work with Integer or Decimal strings. Mind you that strings of the form "2.123" will result in the Integer value of 2 being returned.

Problem

I'm having a function which receives string parameters and convert them to integers. For safe conversion int.TryParse() is used. ``` public IEnumerable<object> ReportView(string param1, string param2) { int storeId = int.TryParse(param1, out storeId) ? storeId : 0; int titleId = int.TryParse(param2, out titleId) ? titleId : 0; IEnumerable<object> detailView = new Report().GetData(storeId, titleId); return detailView; } ``` Function call ReportView(“2”,”4”)--> int.Tryparse successfully parsing the numbers Function call ReportView(“2.00”,”4.00”) --> int.TryParse fails to parse the numbers Why? Any idea? @Update Sorry guys, my concept was wrong. I'm new to c#, I thought Int.TryParse() would return integral part and ignore the decimals. But it won't, even Convert.ToInt32("string") Thanks to all.
