c# - Excel Import Data Parse Error Of Internationaly Formatted Numbers -

i'm importing excel file , want add values database. in database there type decimal(18, 5) , want add value 0.00204 column in database. variable in model class of type decimal , i'm trying code:

     convert.todecimal(items[7]); 

but error input if not correct format. items of type object[]. how parse value decimal?

all others work fine:

       product.packsize = convert.toint32(items[3]);                 product.leadtime = convert.tostring(items[4]);                 product.generalaccessorycategoryid = convert.toint32(items[5]);                 product.company = convert.tostring(items[6]);                 product.weight = convert.todecimal(items[7]); 

check possible error conditions may exist @ stage once safe, extract string:

decimal result;  if ((items!= null) &&      (items.any()) &&      (items[7] != null) &&      (decimal.tryparse(items[7].tostring(), out result))       product.weight = result;

after couple of comments , investigation, believe items[7] has characters convert not expecting. have updated answer above.

decimal result;  decimal.tryparse("0a00204", out result); // returns false
