        CultureInfo current = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
        string numberString = "33,223.510";
        try
        {
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("de-DE");
            try
            {
                double number = double.Parse(numberString);
                Console.WriteLine("Parsed! {0}", number);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Caught exception: {0}", e.ToString());
            }
        }
        finally
        {
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = current;

using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Globalization;
public class MainClass
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        CultureInfo current = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
        string numberString = "33,223.510";
            try
            {
                double number = double.Parse(numberString, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
                Console.WriteLine("Parsed! {0}", number);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Caught exception: {0}", e.ToString());
