This is driving me crazy. I have the following string in a ASP.NET 2.0 WebForm Page

string s = "0.009";

Simple enough. Now, if my culture is Spanish - which is "es-ES" - and I try to convert the string to Double, I do the following:

double d = Double.Parse(s, new CultureInfo("es-ES"));

what I'd expect is 0,009. Instead, I get 9. I understand that .NET thinks it is a thousand separator, which in en-US is a comma, but shouldn't it take the culture info I'm passing to the parse method and apply the correct format to the conversion?

If I do

double d = 0.009D;
string formatted = d.ToString(new CultureInfo("es-ES"));

formatted is now 0,009. Anybody?
