Convert.ToDouble(“4089.90”) outputs 40.899,00 why?

Question

I am developing a software that uses number precision, but I have this problem, it happens that when I take a string to convert to double it outputs me with a different culture.

Answer 1

You can set the culture for your thread with:

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = 
       System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
