Decimal conversion problem

14 New Member
I am doing decimal conversion in my code as below

if datachNode.InnerText is "147.00" and scaleFactor.InnerText is "1"

decimal value = Convert.ToDecimal(datachNode.InnerText.ToString()) ;
decimal scale = Convert.ToDecimal(scaleFactor.InnerText.ToString() );
decimal scaledValue = value / scale;
string decimaladjust = scaledValue.ToString("N2");
string headerStr = "\"" + decimaladjust + "\"";

But my colleague getting different answers in sweden

Add

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("sv-SE");
to the start of your code (and change 147.00 to 147,00) and you get same result as your colleague.

So, the catch is, Convert.ToDecimal uses current culture's rules for number parsing, and if nothing is specified, current culture is the one specified on the operarting system.
