Hi folks! I've just submited the bug 75566 that you can find on http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=75566
After i submited the bug i start looking at the current head revision on the svn repository and i found that the exception is thrown on the file DecimalFormatter.cs located at: http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/mcs/class/corlib/System/DecimalFormatter.cs?view=markup in the method: public static string NumberToString(string format, NumberFormatInfo nfi, Decimal value) In this line: if (!DecimalFormatter.ParseFormat(format, out specifier, out precision)) { throw new FormatException (Locale.GetText ("The specified format is invalid")); } I looked at the ParseFormat source and find out kinda weird, the line of code where the methos returns false (making NumbertToString throw a exception) is: int length = format.Length; if (length < 1 || length > 3) return false; Why the method only accepts format strings betwen 1 and 3 characters? After that line there is a series of if-else to do stuff where the length of the string is 1,2 or 3 characters. Why does it do that? Or do i just get lost in the code? Looks pretty weird for me.
