TryParse failing with negative numbers

Question

I'm having a problem getting TryParse to work correctly for me. I have a list of values that I am almost assured are valid (as they come from another component in our system) but I would like to make sure there is proper error handling in place.

Here is an example list of my values:

20.00
20.00
-150.00

And here is the method I originally wrote:

 private decimal CalculateValue(IEnumerable<XElement> summaryValues)
        {
            decimal totalValue = 0;

            foreach (XElement xElement in summaryValues)
            {
                decimal successful;
                Decimal.TryParse(xElement.Value, out successful);
                if (successful > 0)
                    totalValue += Decimal.Parse(xElement.Value);
            }
            return totalValue;
        }

The variable 'successful' was returning false for -150.00, so I added NumberStyles:

private decimal CalculateValue(IEnumerable<XElement> summaryValues)
        {
            decimal totalValue = 0;

            foreach (XElement xElement in summaryValues)
            {
                decimal successful;
                Decimal.TryParse(xElement.Value, NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign, null, out successful);
                if (successful > 0)
                    totalValue += Decimal.Parse(xElement.Value, NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign);
            }
            return totalValue;
        }

However, now that I have the NumberStyles in there, none of the numbers will parse! I feel good about having IFormatProvider set to null as this is all within our system. Does anyone see what I may be doing wrong?
