Convert string to Double

[Seesharp2008]

Hi every one!

I have a funny problem , I have this piece of code which should convert a string to double and again Double to string.

try
{
string str = "98.22";
double d = Double.Parse(str);
d = d - 1;
str = d.ToString();
Console.Write(str);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.Write(e.Message);
}

but i get an exception which says: Input string was not in correct format.
Do you know what the problem is?

Thank U

Your code works fine for me and shows 97.22.

Your code works fine for me and shows 97.22.

I'm going to hazard a guess that due to the fact it works on one machine and not on another that it has to do with cultural differences between machines. Try something like this:
VB

Dim MyDouble As Double 
MyDouble = Double.Parse("14.02", _
  System.Globalization.GetCultureInfo(1033).NumberFormat)
Console.WriteLine(MyDouble ^ 2)

C#

Double MyDouble = Double.Parse("14.02", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(1033).NumberFormat);
Console.WriteLine(MyDouble ^ 2);

I get the result 196.5604

Note of interest 1033 is English U.S. and as such, this code would translate the string as a U.S. string using the "." as a decimal point. If we were to change to French or another culture, it would read the "." as a thousands separator and "," as a decimal point.

Hope that helps

No. It has nothing to do with cultural differences.
The code works fine and produces the same results on all machines running the .NET framework.
