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

@Noldorin is correct try this code:

string str = "-5e20";
double d = double.Parse(str);
Console.WriteLine(str);
