I have read the documentation here for TypeConverter.ConvertFromInvariantString, but I didn't understand it.



Is doing conv.ConvertFromInvariantString(val);



same as:



CultureInfo defaultCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");

conv.ConvertFromString(null, defaultCulture, val);


My problem is that I am reading input from file which have numeric input with . seperator (for example 13.5)



If my locale is german for example, conv.ConvertFromString for 13.5 will not work and will throw exception.



So I want to convert to string with culture independent method, and I don't know which one to use.



Can you please help?
Thanks
