System.Convert.ToDouble(stringVal)

[dec82]

What differences between: double num= System.Convert.ToDouble(stringVal); double num= Convert.ToDouble(stringVal); Thanks!

No difference actually. System is almost always automatically added in "using" section.

The first example guarantees that the .Net version of Convert.ToDouble will be used. The second one will use the locally defined version if you've written one, and if not, will use the one defined in the System namespace. Most programmers don't bother qualifying the Convert object, and just use the 2nd example.
