string to double issue, dot is removed

Question

I have a string value, containing longitude or latitude value. However, when I try to convert this to a double, I end up with a number where the dot is removed and placed at the end. This is not what I want. What am I missing? This is the value I get: `200,5,1.4928184,0.1609203` and this is the method I use to get the value: ``` var responseBytes = ms.ToArray(); var encoding = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding(); var coords = encoding.GetString(responseBytes); var parts = coords.Split(new char[] { ',' }); //this piece of code returns me wrong values! When I debug this piece parts[2] is exactly 1.4928184 return new Coordinaat(Double.Parse(parts[2]), Double.Parse(parts[3])); ``` See code example below for constructor: ``` public Coordinaat(double lat, double lon) { this.Latitude = lat; this.Longitude = lon; } ``` Output: `lat 114928184 lon 01609203` --> where did my dots go to??

Accepted Answer

You are probably under a culture (e.g German) which is causing this effect. Use `CultureInfo.InvariantCultre` while parsing.

```
Double.Parse("123.22",CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
```
