Decimal.TryParse not working right

[briprogram]

By looking at the following code can anyone tell me why 5 typed into txtNorthCurrent.txt returns true and 5.0 returns false?

Dim isconverted As Boolean
Dim currentSalesNorth As Decimal
isconverted = Decimal.TryParse(txtNorthCurrent.Text, NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol Or _
NumberStyles.AllowThousands, NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo, currentSalesNorth)

Thanks in advance

Ok Never mind

I changed it to say

Dim isconverted As Boolean
Dim currentSalesNorth As Decimal
isconverted = Decimal.TryParse(txtNorthCurrent.Text, NumberStyles.Currency, NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo, currentSalesNorth)

I put NumberStyles.Currency and took out the other two number styles and it now works ok and keeps the decimal and does not return a zero.
