Question

I download one program that read file and then parse double values from String to Double. But I get an exception because this file contains numbers with ‘.’ separator, but there is ‘,’ in my culture. How can I set culture explicitly?

Answer 1

You would use the Parse overload that accepts an IformatProvider.

Double.Parse("23.56", new CultureInfo("..."))

If you don’t know the culture used to write the file you create a NumberFormatInfo and configure it as you like:

var nfi = new NumberFormatInfo();

nfi.NumberDecimalSeparator = ".";

var d = Double.Parse("23.56", nfi);
