Need to convert double or decimal to string

Question

I need to convert double to string with two decimal digits separated with 'dot' My concern is that dot must be always used as separator.

The simplest way is to specify CultureInfo.InvariantCulture as the culture, e.g.

string text = d.ToString("N2", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Jon, does CultureInfo.InvariantCulture assume 'dot'? – Captain Comic Oct 19 '10 at 17:55

@Captain Comic: Yes. For *most* purposes, you can think of the invariant culture as being pretty much US English :) – Jon Skeet Oct 19 '10 at 18:19

Perhaps to avoid messing up with CultureInfo settings on clients systems, we better set a concrete way to force the machine to use dot as decimal separator and not thousand separator ==> regardless of culture! So,

NumberFormatInfo fi= new NumberFormatInfo();
fi.NumberDecimalSeparator = ".";
string doubleDotDecimalNr = doubleNr.ToString(fi);
