Solution 1

Just try the other way around to see what the result is:

String.Format("{0}", 15.9933)

Good luck!

Solution 2

Depends - the chances are that the InnerText property contains some wrapper information (possibly HTML but without knowing what control it is I can't tell) - so use the Text property instead!

Assuming that CurrentValues are something like

C#

List<double> CurrentValues = new List<double></double></double>

You could have a decimal place wrong, so you could use invariant culture insead:

C#

double.Parse(name.InnerText, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

You should also check to see if InnerText is not empty.
