Parse string to float number C#

Question

I have float number in string. there is one problem. Number uses \".\" not \",\" as decimal point.

This code is not working:

MyNumber = float.Parse(\         


        

Answer 1

Using string replace is very fragile, and will lead to suttle bugs. Specify the IFormatProvider instead. For instance:

MyNumber = float.Parse("123.5", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Or you can specify the NumberFormatInfo using another overload of Parse.
