c# - double.Parse throw a System.FormatException

Question

I am trying to parse some string to a double value, using this parse method overload:

double.Parse("198.222213745118", CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture);

the CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture is fr-FR. but this is throwing an exception of type FormatException.

What can be the reason?

Answer 1

French (i.e. fr-FR) use a comma to denote the start of the decimal part, not a period. They use a period to separate thousands.
