Error: Input string was not in correct format

Question

To write the numbers in my motherhood language (Persian), I worked with the sting which its value is 1393 (The numbers are in Persian).

return Convert.ToInt32(Year);

But the following error appears:

Input string was not in correct format

I have tried both String and string

There's an overload for Convert.ToInt32() that lets you provide a specified culture as your IFormatProvider. Have you tried that? — StriplingWarrior

This should work:

CultureInfo info = new CultureInfo("fa-Ir");
int x = Int32.Parse(inuptString, info);   // same as Convert.ToInt32()
