Dot instead of comma for decimal number separator?

[Marko D. Topic]

Hi people,
I'm using C# and having some problems with the display of decimal
numbers. Whether I use String.Format(0:0.00) or the ToString() method
for converting floats to strings I always end up with 123,45 insead of
123.45! How to solve this?

String.Format() is a culture sensitive function. Your current culture
settings probably use a comma as decimal separator. To be sure of the
output, specify the Invariant culture as an argument.

string.Format(NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo, "format", args);

Brute force solution would be to use NumberFormatInfo as below

using System.Globalization
.....
float a = 123.45f;
NumberFormatInfo nfi = new System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo();
nfi.NumberDecimalSeparator = ".";
Console.Write(a.ToString(nfi));

Are you writing asp.net? win forms app? Asking cause , decimal separator
depends on CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.

It works, thanks! ;)

I think that should be CurrentCulture. The UICulture reflects the UI
language, while the Culture reflects the regional options (Date,
number formatting).
