re: Invariant Culture

Thimp — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:47:34 GMT

thanks for the great example and the great tool! A hint for with developers using other cultures: The XAML writer uses a obj.ToString() method that does not use the invariant culture:

In page.xaml.cs line 236:

writer.WriteElementString(obj.GetType().Name, systemNamespace, obj.ToString());

That can pose a problem since the sys:double element in the resulting xaml contains an invalid value 2,33333 instead of 2.3333

change the line to somthing like:

string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0}", obj) and you'll be ok.

Thimp,

Thank you very much for pointing this out! I did a full Code Analysis pass quite a few times during ChartBuilder development, but obviously missed this instance. I always try to support culture settings other than my own, and I've added this to my list of things to fix. As it happens, someone else reported an issue that could be due to the same problem, so it would be great to solve both problems at once! :)

Thanks again for the help!!
