Decimal number with "." and i would like ","

[moi]

Hello,
When user write a decimal number in a textbox with the numeric pad, he hits
the "." button but in FRANCE, we use the ",". How to change the "." in the
textbox with a "," ?
Example : user write "34.45" and i would like "34,45" to be in the database
(else i have a data type error) ...
Is there two method ? with or without autopostback ?
What's the best ?

Thanks a lot !

Hi,

validators would make them enter it as expected- ;-)

Anyways, you could run javascript for example in onchange event (client) to
replace dot '.' with comma ','. Or you could just do string replace ins
erver-side code. it kind of also depends is it possible that you'd have
client browsers not letting you run js. Running it on the server is sure
way, but running it on the client also would better "indicate" to clients
what is expected.

You can use Regular Expression, to ensure only number [0-9] and "," is
allowed in that control.
