I've got a German VisualStudio 9.0. Working with doubles and doing quite some parsing, I came into trouble because of the decimal separator. What I'm looking for is a way to either switch the whole IDE (and therefore all the projects created with it) to "en-gb" or do it project wide. I chose en-gb because of the lack of am's and pm's w...
