Hi I have a problem with the TypeConverter class. It works fine with CultureInvariant values but cannot convert specific cultures like english 1000 seperators. Below is a small test program that I cannot get to work.

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.ComponentModel;

namespace TestConvertCulture {

  class Program {
    static void Main() {
      try {
        var culture = new CultureInfo( "en" );
        TypeConverter typeConverter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter( typeof ( double ) );
        double value = (double)typeConverter.ConvertFromString( null, culture, "2,999.95" );
        Console.WriteLine( "Value: " + value );
      }
      catch( Exception e ) {
        Console.WriteLine( "Error: " + e.Message );
      }
    }
  }
}
