APPS:C# convert double to string in different regional language give different output

6 New Member
Hi Ladies and Gentlements,

I have a variable with the type of double. Let said that it is 0.003.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. double dblValue = 0.003
  2.  
Now, when I want to convert it to string with the local regional language set to US English .
The output value is 0.003

This is correct and fine

However, when I convert the double to string with the local regional language set to France.
The output value is 0,003

The point has became comma and this is boggling me.

The questions here are, why the conversion in France and US English give the different result? And how can we solve the problem so that the conversion from double to string can behave correctly in different regional languages?

Thanks and have a nice day.

It's the same result. France uses the , (comma) as it's seperator not the . (period)
That would be the point of usuing regional settings, so they would understand the output.
If you REALLY need it to ALWAYS use the english version, use one of the .ToString() overrides that allows to specify the region and pick the english one

Hi, If I don't know that my (or any) windows 2k regional setting for the decimal symbol is the dot (".") and I want to do this: 1- Dim dblOutput As Double 2- Dim strInput As String 3- strInput = "123,8" 4- dblOutput = Convert.ToDouble(strInput)

Hi there, I'm having a weird situation when converting strings to double. Normally, the following code would work right? double MyDouble = double.Parse("20.50"); // Error at runtime Well, it gives me an error at run time, telling me that the format of the input string is incorrect. Then, if i try with a comma instead of a dot, it works fine.

Hi everyone, A basic one here, I think. I haven't found the pattern yet, but sometimes when I cast a variable to another type using the "C" style cast operator the compiler refuses to play along. It says it's an invalid cast. However, if I use the Convert.ToInt32() method (for example) things will work. At least, that's how it appears to me. Could someone explain when to use old-style parenthesized casts vs. the Convert() methods?

Hi, I'm writing a program using VB.NET that needs to communicate with a DOS Pascal program than cannot be modified.
