What is the best way to parse a float in CSharp? I know about TryParse, but what I'm particularly wondering about is dots, commas etc. I'm having problems with my website. On my dev server, the ',' is for decimals, the '.' for separator. On the prod server though, it is the other way round. How can I best capture this? ...
Hi I almost have the same problem as the guy in this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/359298/convert-float-that-has-period-instead-of-comma So that my double x = 234.4; string y = x.ToString(); I get y == "234,4"; Even worse ... Double.Parse("234.4") throws an exception. I have written alot of code before I was asked to...

If I set the CurrentCulture of a thread pool thread, what happens when the thread finishes execution and gets returned back to the thread pool? Does it get its CurrentCulture reset back to the default (whatever that may mean), or will it retain the culture I have set on it? I'm hoping that the framework resets the thread to a default ...
An asp:RangeValidator takes it's culture info from the page/ thread and all advice online around getting the right culture seems to be to set the CultureInfo on the thread. Rick Strahl's west wind blog is typical advice However, due to problems running the server code in this way, we are stripping out the code we were using previously ...

We develop an established software which works fine on all known computers except one. The problem is to parse strings that begin with "8". It seems like "8" in the beginning of a string is a reserved character. Parsing: int.Parse("8") -> Exception message: Input string was not in a correct format. int.Parse("80") -> 0 int.Parse("88") ...

What I am seeing is most certainly due to knowledge I have yet to learn so I would appreciate illumination on the following. Setup: My default language setting is English (en-us specifically). I added a secon...
From what I have researched it is not possible to change the Timezone of a thread. So my question is why can't you? I would have thought switching your application's culture to a specific country would also switch this, seems like expected behaviour IMO. Edit After revising I can see the reason why it probably shouldn't be mapped 1:1 ...
I'm having trouble with CultureInfo in our ASP.NET web application. Our web application returns a different culture, depending on which application pool it is in. In application pool A, it is en-US, but in application pool B, it's nl-BE. I'd like it to be nl-BE, but can't find where to change this (IIS6 by the way). I'm not even sure ...

I'm trying to get my clients' country, so I use CultureInfo.CurrentCulture. Problem is that when my Canadian customers use my website, they're showing up as American.

What is the best practice for specifying CurrentCulture or InvariantCulture and not specifying the culture at all? From what I have read, if you're doing serialization, for instance, you need InvariantCulture as a means of specifying a canonical representation of a data value. That's a relatively small percentage of culture-based stri...
