title: Convert String to Decimal Mystery
body: <p>I'm facing a problem about the conversion from string to decimal using C# .NET. The problem is that I have wrote the following code and works fine on my development Windows 7 .NET Framework 3.5 system. But, if I move the application on the Windows 2003 Server .NET 3.5 Framework the result is different. Can anyone understand what happen there?</p>
  
  <p>Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dec = Convert.ToDecimal(strDec);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Windows 7    result: 85.00
  Windows 2003 result: 8500</p>
