Comma Instead Of Decimal Point
In countries such as Germany they use commas as decimal points (e.g. -0,136222). So if your program is converting a string like this:
String ^sTemp;
Single Value;
sTemp = "1.234";
Value = Convert::ToSingle(sTemp);
What you will actually get is 1234 in Value – the decimal point is ignored.
Correctly Handling Conversions From Strings
String ^sTemp;
Single Value;
sTemp = "1.234";
Value = Single::Parse(sTemp, System::Globalization::CultureInfo::InvariantCulture);
