Re: Non-locale-specific floating point numbers

I want to write some C# that converts between floating-point numbers and

to be ".", etc. The simple overloads of Double.ToString() and
Double.Parse() change their behavior depending on locale. I'm considering
creating a static en-us locale and passing it to the overloads of Parse and
ToString that take a locale, but is there a better way?

Instead of creating a static en-us, use CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.
Pass that to methods as appropriate.

Of course, you could always wrap that up in your own helper class if
you're doing it a lot.
