How do I parse a string with a decimal point to a double?

Question

I want to parse a string like \"3.5\" to a double. However,

double.Parse(\"3.5\") 

yields 35 and

double.Pars

The below is less efficient, but I use this logic. This is valid only if you have two digits after decimal point.

double val;

if (temp.Text.Split('.').Length > 1)
{
    val = double.Parse(temp.Text.Split('.')[0]);

    if (temp.Text.Split('.')[1].Length == 1)
        val += (0.1 * double.Parse(temp.Text.Split('.')[1]));
    else
        val += (0.01 * double.Parse(temp.Text.Split('.')[1]));
}
else
    val = double.Parse(RR(temp.Text));
