Path Data values have wrong format

[jongleur1983]

Hi,
snooping an application to get a given path geometry I stumbled over a behaviour I don't understand, but that might be a bug in Snoop:

The Data value of a WPF Path item is shown in Snoop as
F1M6;0C9,31371;0 12;2,68629 12;6 12;9,31371 9,31371;12 6;12 2,68629;12 -6,35783E-07;9,31371 -6,35783E-07;6 -6,35783E-07;2,68629 2,68629;0 6;0z M3;4L5;6 3;8 4;9 6;7 8;9 9;8 7;6 9;4 8;3 6;5 4;3 3;4z

This value cannot be used in XAML, VisualStudio raises an exception.

Replacing , by . and ; by , (in that order) fixed the problem.

Nevertheless: Is there some strange localization of the values taking place or similar?

Probably worth to know: Running Windows in German

debugging snoop turns out to be strange but fun...
nevertheless: so far I figured out that the actual values are as displayed in Snoop in the data (according to the Visual Studio debugger as well as according to OzCode).

So I don't know yet where this conversion takes place, but I'm on it, will see in the next days.

I have to admit, I'm wrong (and the ToString method of StreamGeometry is strange).
Snoop shows the correct ToString value of the Geometry object - but that value is only slightly different from the Mini-Language used to define the Geometry in code.

With a few tests I'm pretty sure now that the problem is based on the Culture used to format values.
I therefore propose to always use the InvariantCulture in Snoop as many values will suffer from breaking changes in output formats.
