In your string I see  15 5859949000000662452 23862099999999 which is not a double  it has two decimal points    Perhaps it s just a legitimate input error   You may also want to figure out if your last String will be empty  and account for that situation

Most people already tried to answer your questions  If you are still debugging  have you thought about using   Double TryParse String  Double     This will help you in determining what is wrong in each of the string first before you do the actual parsing  If you have a culture-related problem  you might consider using   Double TryParse String  NumberStyles  IFormatProvider  Double     This http   msdn microsoft com en-us library system double tryparse aspx has a really good example on how to use them   If you need a long  Int64 TryParse is also available  http   msdn microsoft com en-us library system int64 tryparse aspx  Hope that helps

There are 3 problems   1  Incorrect decimal separator  Different cultures use different decimal separators  namely   and       If you replace   with   it should work as expected   Console WriteLine Convert ToDouble  52 8725945       You can parse your doubles using overloaded method which takes culture as a second parameter  In this case you can use InvariantCulture  What is the invariant culture  e g  using double Parse   double Parse  52 8725945   System Globalization CultureInfo InvariantCulture     You should also take a look at double TryParse  you can use it with many options and it is especially useful to check wheter or not your string is a valid double   2  You have an incorrect double  One of your values is incorrect  because it contains two dots   15 5859949000000662452 23862099999999  3  Your array has an empty value at the end  which is an incorrect double  You can use overloaded Split which removes empty values   string   someArray   a Split new char            StringSplitOptions RemoveEmptyEntries
