Hi, I have a problem with two function: IsNumber() and CDbl() because when I
invoke it they throw an exception.
The problem I think is International Settings, because
NumberDecimalSeparator and NumberDecimalGroup have the same value "."
I can't change this setting on computer by default so what I want to know if
I can change this settings only for my application.

I've used System.Globalization but CDbl use the settings in contro pannel.

Thanks in advice

Hello michelle,

Use system.globalization.cultureinfo.currentculture.numberformat.numberdecimalseparator and numbergroupseparator to indicate the separators you want.
Instead of CDbl, use Double.Parse, which uses current thread culture information.

Regards.

Thank you, in fact I've used it and I thought that all was ok but I
discovered that I used I PrintDocument that involved "International
Settings" and I've the applicationt  runs ok but I can't print because I
don't know how to set enviroment to PrintDocument.

I don't understand the problem. The PrintPage event runs on the same thread on which you call PrintDocument.Print, so it uses the same environment.

Regards.

Ok, maybe I missunderstand how to program so can you explain more, it it is
possible.
I've tried to use
System.Globalization.Cultureinfo.Currentculture.Numberformat.NumberDecimalSeparator
= ","
but this property is red-only..

Thanks

Yes, michele, the CultureInfo returned by System.Globalization.Cultureinfo.Currentculture is read only. You must replace it. Look at this sample:

Sub Main()

    Dim s as String = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name

    Dim ci As New System.Globalization.CultureInfo(s, True)

    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci

    ci.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = ","

    Debug.WriteLine(Double.Parse("3,14") * 10)

    ci.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = "·"

    'Debug.WriteLine(Double.Parse("3,14") * 10)    'Error: "," is not part of a number.

    Debug.WriteLine(Double.Parse("3·14") * 10)

End Sub

Regards.
