Formatting decimal number

[Luis Esteban Valencia]

Hi

My website is hosted in Germany, and decimal numbers are displayed as
"123,456" rather than in the UK format I want: "123.456". I therefore need
to know the ASP.NET/VB.NETfunction/method for displaying numbers in UK
format, and the function for converting my input textbox entries from UK
format to German format, for input into the German sqlserver.

Any help gratefully received.

You could convert it using the appropriate CultureInfo.
eg.

decimal converted = Convert.ToDecimal("123,456", (new
CultureInfo("en-GB")).NumberFormat));

(You can replace "en-GB" with any supported culture name (see the
documentation for the System.Globalization.CultureInfo class), and I'm not
sure if my syntax is 100% correct).
