Dim strNumValue as String="1.234.567,89"
Dim strNumValue_enUS as string
dblValue = CDbl(strNumValue)' {"Conversion from string "" 1.234.567,89"" to type 'Double' is not valid."}
strNumValue_enUS=dblvalue.ToString("N","en-US")

I'd sugegst to use Double.Parse method[^].

Take a look at this code:

VB

Dim strNumValue As String="1.234.567,89"

Dim dv As Double = 0
Dim cIn As CultureInfo = New CultureInfo("Hr-hr")
Dim cOut As CultureInfo = New CultureInfo("En-us")

dv = Double.Parse(strNumValue, cIn)
strNumValue = dv.ToString(cOut)
Console.WriteLine(strNumValue)
'prints: 1234567.89
strNumValue = dv.ToString("###,000.00", cOut)
Console.WriteLine(strNumValue)
'prints: 1,234,567.89

You can also use: Double.TryParse Method[^]

My tiny 5. But to be honest I would put the hint to 'TryParse' in bold size 16 ;)
