Hello.
If a convert a string (string number = "24.45") into a double, using the
Convert class ((double doublenumber = Convert.ToDouble(number)), the result
will have the value 2445.
How do I retain the correct value?

That doesn't help one bit.
decimal decimalnumber = Convert.ToDecimal("25.34");
decimalnumber will have the value 2534 after this. I have tried it already.
This problem that I receive should be quite common.
As example, you have a textbox on a webform, and you need to enter a price
for a product. If you convert the text of the textbox, the problem should
clear:
User entered the value 25.55 into the textbox.
double number = Convert.ToDouble(textbox.text);
number has the value 2555. How to retain the value 25.55 ?

No, it is not that common, 1st time I've seen this.
put a breakpoint in your code and examine the values, I think you are
passing in "2534".

provides a value of "25.34". decimalnumber will have the value 2534 after this. I have tried it
already.
Nope, you could not have possibly tried it!

That's very odd.

Sounds like some kind of locale/I18N problem. What happens if you try
to convert "25,55" to decimal?
