Anyone have an idea why Sven Groot is getting this:

instead of this?

Is there something in culture that might impact on the coordinates?

(from the coffee house thread "From The Malverns")

I am getting the same as Sven. IE 8, win 7 rtm, silverlight 3.0.40818.0, IE regional settings da-DK (Denmark)

Human after all

What coords are you giving it exactly?

I think the issue may be down to ignoring culture when parsing doubles - I've now rectified this. Would you mind giving it another go?

Thanks,

Ian

Still the same. How are you parsing the doubles?

Slopilly:

Double x = Double.Parse(p.Substring(0, p.IndexOf(",")), System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Double y = Double.Parse(p.Substring(p.IndexOf(",") + 1), System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

p looks like this:

"-2.716592,52.056538"

Incidentally I've noticed that the app sometimes gets cached somwhere along the line - the latest version just has a single, labled slider on the map page if that helps?

In that case it seems I'm still getting the old version. I've tried ctrl-f5 but it didn't help.

I've had that caching issue myself - eventually it will pick up the new version though (I havn't bothered myself trying to track down the cached file but I expect you could do so and delete it).

Hopefully this has sorted the issue out - I tried changing my own culture to Dutch and it seems to work OK.

Thanks for your help.
