Why is it that when I convert a string with value "22.882" to double, using Dbl() it loses precision and is converted to 2288.2?
I have to use a double since I'm using the constructor of System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit[URL]..

I'm trying to write a (WPF) program with Option Strict on, but I have a problem.
I have a Canvas with a background image, and I want to use the coordinates of where the canvas was clicked to determine what should happen next. (Something like this)
Dim p As Point = e.GetPosition(DirectCast(sender, Canvas))
Dim imgColorMap As System.Drawing.Bitmap = My.Resources.ColorMap
Dim c As System.Drawing.Color = imgColorMap.GetPixel(p.X, p.Y)
This gives me the error: "Option Strict disallows implicit conversion of 'Double' to 'Integer'" for p.X and p.Y I have tried several things, like Math.Round but strangely enough that also returns a double.
How do I cast/round these Double values to Integer, so I can use them in my GetPixel method?
I wanted to know if it's possible - after casting a double to a single, to turn it back into a double again? i tried doing something like:
Dim x_double as double = 12345678.987654321d
Dim x_single as single=x_double
x_doubble=Cdbl(x_single)
but it doesn't give me the original value.

I get the error, index was out of bound. ToString isnt able to convert 2d array of objects to 1 D.
Let's say I want to convert a Double x to a Decimal y. There's a lot of ways to do that:
1. var y = Convert.ToDecimal(x); // Dim y = Convert.ToDecimal(x)
2. var y = new Decimal(x); // Dim y = new Decimal(x)
3. var y = (decimal)x; // Dim y = CType(x, Decimal)
4. -- no C# equivalent -- // Dim y = CDec(x)
Functionally, all of the above do the same thing (as far as I can tell). Other than personal taste and style, is there a particular reason to choose one option over the other?
EDIT: This is the IL generated by compiling the three C# options in a Release configuration:
1. call valuetype [mscorlib]System.Decimal [mscorlib]System.Convert::ToDecimal(float64)
--> which calls System.Decimal::op_Explicit(float64)

Follow-Up available: There's a follow-up with further details, see Convert MBF to IEEE.
I've got some legacy data which is still in use, reading the binary files is not the problem, the number format is. All floating point numbers are saved in MBF format (Single and Double). I've found a topic about that on the MSDN boards but that one only deals with Single values. I'd also would like to stay away from API-Calls as far as I can.
Edit: Just in case somebody needs it, here is the VB.NET Code (it's Option Strict compliant) I ended up with (feel free to convert it to C# and edit it in):
''' <summary>Converts a MBF Single to an IEEE Single</summary>
''' <param name="src">The MBF Single value</param>

Let just say I have an Integer like 10,000 (that's the VALUE in want to reach). So, I have another integer like 2500 (that's my current VALUE). Third I have another Integer about 350 PER HOUR. To reach 10,000 I need 7,500 (well I already have 2,500). How long must I wait to reach the 10,000 when the increase is about 350 a Hour. Okay, that's easy: 7,500 / 350 = 21,428571 Hours. BUT how can I convert this double to a timespan? Or how is it possible to add this double value to the current Date to get the Date + Time when I reach the Value?
