Hello
i have problems with this function, always thru exception
for all data, for example: Convert.ToDouble("545.0"). Why ?

I want to convert string data in different format into double,
i have formats like:
37.439351
2.00000e+02

How can i do it most easily ?

Thanx
Michal

What exception are you getting? The above should work fine so we need
details around the exception and what else is going on.

The only reason I can figure that the above code would cause an
exception is if the number is not in a valid format for your current
culture. If you specify the invariant culture does it still cause an
exception?:

double val = Convert.ToDouble("545.0", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

CultureInfo is in the System.Globalization namespace.

Is it possible that your decimal separator is not '.'?
