Hi,

Is there any way to directly convert a Currency (with '$' sign) into Double.

Below is my code:
//**************************
NumberFormatInfo nfi = new CultureInfo( "en-US", true ).NumberFormat;
// Displays a negative value with the default number of decimal digits (2).
double dOriginal = 1234.1154;
textBox1.Text = dOriginal.ToString("C", nfi);  //Output $1234.12
double dConverted = Convert.ToDouble(textBox1.Text) //error 

Thanks in advance,
Peter Jone
