Integers don't have a fractional part. It's entirely understandable (and correct, IMHO) that the int.Parse method does not allow a decimal point in the textual representation of an integer. However, it...

See my previous post... I am using that particular workaround... But parsing is something very specific: you have a string representation of something (a number in my case), in a somewhat known format...
