Convert numbers with exponential notation from string to double or decimal

Question

Is there a fast way to convert numbers with exponential notation (examples: \"0.5e10\" or \"-5e20\") to decimal or double?

Update: I found Parse a N

Answer 1

If your culture uses . as the decimal separator, just double.Parse("1.50E-15") should work.

If your culture uses something else (e.g. ,) or you want to make sure your application works the same on every computer, you should use InvariantCulture:

double.Parse("1.50E-15", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
