Converting .Text to double in C# .net

[help1267]

I'm trying to convert an entry from a form text box to a double and am always getting "Input string was not in the correct format".

This is my code:

dblAmount = double.Parse(fr m_aTest.txtAmou nt.Text);

If I hardcode:

dblAmount = double.Parse("1 0000");

it works

I'm using C# .net

Yes, both should work ok. But maybe it's because the overall logic flow. eg. the above line executed before the user entered the text, etc.

Maybe a code snippet will help us to diagnose more.
