Space Empires V Editor 1.0 released

ok, got it. Man, what a pain in the ***. Turns out I was correctly NOT using regional settings when parsing the formula, BUT C# was using them anyway when doing a Convert. So, it was doing very strange things with . and , characters when the regional settings were different.

The fix was to just set the app settings to en-US Number Formatting. Figuring out how to DO that, however, was a real pain in the ***. Ah well, it should work now.

Just in case any other C# programmers want to know how to force an application to use US number formatting no matter what the user's regional settings are, here's some code

Code:

---

CultureInfo currentCultureInfo = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;

CultureInfo cultureInfo = (CultureInfo)currentCultureInfo.Clone();

NumberFormatInfo nfi = new CultureInfo( "en-US", false ).NumberFormat;

cultureInfo.NumberFormat = nfi;

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;

---

Wouldn't be nearly so annoyingly difficult to figure out if the system didn't make the original settings read-only so that I had to clone them. Sheesh.
