convert string to double decimal point needs to be a point

Question

I have been looking around here and I have found this solution:

ViewBag.lon = double.Parse(parts[1], CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

this is doing the trick... partially... When I put this value in my ViewBag and write it out, the '.' becomes a ',' suddenly... who can I fix this?

Seems like everything is going fine untill getting it out of the ViewBag... in the ViewBag they're all ok..

any solutions?

Could you show how are you using this `ViewBag.lon` value on the view? — Darin Dimitrov, Jan 07 '13 at 22:54

What's probably happening is that your default culture uses a comma as decimal point (e.g. Spain). One way to force it, is to write it out providing a format string:

@(ViewBag.lon.ToString("#,##0.00"))

but it may not be a string... it needs to remain a '.' when I get the value from my viewbag and of type double.. – user1122844 Jan 07 '13 at 22:58
it seems to me a problem in your UI culture try to set the proper culture in your config file – Syed Mohd Mohsin Akhtar Jan 08 '13 at 05:26
