Convert String to Double (without using "Convert Class")

Imagine I have the following values in a string, example:

string[] values  = new string[] { "17.424", "44.43", "44.0"};

Now I need to extract the exact value with the respective comma and save them as Double Numeric Type.

double valuesCorrectType;

I don't want to use this:

Convert.ToDouble(string);

because the output I get is: 17424.0 and 4443.0 and 44.0

How can I achieve this?

Just pass CultureInfo.InvariantCulture

double d = Convert.ToDouble("17.424", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Its your current culture which is considering . as thousand separator.

You can also use double.Parse or double.TryParse, but you have to specify CultureInfo.InvariantCulture
