Convert String do double "," "."

Hello

How can I convert a string to double with a decimal point as seperator?

***CODE****
strNumber ="12.00"
dblDouble = Cdbl(strNumber)
****
dblDouble holds now the value 1200. But I want it to hold 12.00.

I am not very familar with CurrentUIcultur e,CurrentCultur e,Thread.Curren tThread

Thanks

Michael :)

Hi,

Try this.

Dim strNum As String = "12.00"

Dim dblDouble As Double = Double.Parse(st rNum)

Example
This example demonstrates the FormatNumber function.

Dim myNumber As Integer = 45600
Dim myString As String
' Returns "45,600.00" .
myString = FormatNumber(my Number, 2, , ,TriState.True) "michi"

Did you have a look at the overloaded versions of 'Double.Parse'?

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?

In my code i use the text from a textbox and convert it to a double value. I was using Convert.ToDouble() but i'm used to convert comma to dot. This way i can assure the text is correct. However it seems this convert is determined by the local settings and comma is indeed used as decimal separator. Is there another way to convert a dotted value to a double variable? Like 1234.5 and not 1234,5
