Question

Heey,

I need some help on a Exception i keep hitting with my app,

The Exception fires in this piece of code

Map mapView = new Map() 
        { 
            CredentialsProvider = new ApplicationIdCredentialsProvider("OurKey"),
            Margin = new Thickness(6.0),
            IsEnabled = false,
            Center = new GeoCoordinate(Convert.ToDouble(newEvent.EventLat), Convert.ToDouble(newEvent.EventLon)),
            ZoomLevel = 15
        };

Where i get an ArgumentOutOfRangeException on the Center = new GeoCoordinate piece containing the following info

The value of the parameter must be from -90.0 to 90.0.
Parameter name: Latitude

But the newEvent.EventLat is “51.4430624” so completely Valid to me isnt it?

Now the even weirder part is this happens only when i run it on my Nokia Lumia 800 when i fire it up on the emulator it just works fine.

So i really need help on this one i cant find anything on it on the internet.

Unless your decimal separator on the phone is ,
Regional settings is a typical thing to get wrong between an emulator and the real thing.

Consider

//Convert.ToDouble(newEvent.EventLat)
double.Parse(newEvent.EventLat, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
