Internal Error-graph from other PC-decimal separator issue

[epsonix]

Depends on MS Windows settings (usually home country preferences of PC user) decimal separator is either coma or dot. This is not handled right in MES - files from my PC (I use dot separator) are not exchangable with other users who use comma. Of course replacing in text editor all comas to dots helps, but that is not efficient solution. Could it be handled automatically or if not that there is some preference in Settings?

International language support, code pages, decimal "." vs "," separators are a real pain to code and test (I speak from limited experience )

This is a .NET app, so it is not a big deal...

Code: Select all

public static double GetDouble(string value, double defaultValue)
{
    double result;

    //Try parsing in the current culture
    if (!double.TryParse(value, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Any, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, out result) &&
        //Then try in US english
        !double.TryParse(value, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Any, CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US"), out result) &&
        //Then in neutral language
        !double.TryParse(value, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Any, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out result))
    {
        result = defaultValue;
    }

    return result;
}

or

Code: Select all

Double.Parse("3,5".Replace(',', '.'), CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

... and voila! (this is not my code)
