title: Problem parsing currency text to decimal type
body: <p>I am trying to parse a string like "$45.59" into a decimal. For some reason I am getting exception that the input was not in the correct format. I don't care about all the localization stuff because this is not going to be a global program. Here is what I am doing. Do you see any problems?</p>
  
  <pre><code>NumberFormatInfo MyNFI = new NumberFormatInfo(); 
  MyNFI.NegativeSign = "-"; 
  MyNFI.NumberDecimalSeparator = "."; 
  MyNFI.NumberGroupSeparator = ",";
  MyNFI.CurrencySymbol = "$"; 
  decimal d  = decimal.Parse("$45.00", MyNFI);    // throws exception here...
  </code></pre>
