It might be something you post in big red letters at the top of the article posting thing (or whatever it is you do, I haven't written any articles :-)) I had an idea for an article, but I thought it was too silly: "A practical introduction to web services in .NET" , drawing on RFC 2795[^] as inspiriation for what the example service(s) did :-D. -- Ian Darling

.. because in austria (and in germany) the sign for the decimal point is "," (in most other countries "."). the problem is that it depends on the locale setting. now we really had some strange effects with the locale's setting (connectiong to our database changed these settings, due to an error in a lib). so we wrote something like: (without looking into the code)

string s = any_number;
s.change_all_dots_to_commas();
d1 = atof (s);
s.change_all_commas_to_dots();
d2 = atof (s);
if (any_number > 0)
  return max (d1,d2)
else
  return min (d1,d2)

hope you get the point. and it makes sense... cause now all our programs work perfectly.
