The ToDecimal method is a static extension method provided by the SandboxSystemExtensions class. It is used to convert a string representation of a number into a System.Decimal value. If the conversion fails, it returns a specified default value.
To use the ToDecimal method, call it on a string instance that you want to convert to a decimal. Provide a default decimal value that will be returned if the conversion is unsuccessful.
This method is particularly useful when you want to safely parse a string to a decimal without throwing exceptions for invalid input, and instead, use a fallback value.
string numberString = "123.45"; System.Decimal defaultValue = 0.0m; System.Decimal result = numberString.ToDecimal(defaultValue); // result will be 123.45 string invalidNumberString = "abc"; result = invalidNumberString.ToDecimal(defaultValue); // result will be 0.0, as the conversion fails and the default value is returned
