Decimal separator/locale and keypress event

[Claire]

I'm monitoring key presses in an edit box on a pocket pc device.
It's for floating point numbers and Im allowing '-', '0'..'9', #8 plus
decimal point character.
Ive a function that should return a char representing the decimal point for
this locale.
Not knowing what I was doing on .net, I did a google and came up with some
code that I changed as follows.
It looks really ugly and I wondered if I needed to do all this to read back
a decimal separator value. Please would someone change my code. I don't know
if it works, it returns a '.' OK for my english pocketpc, but I wouldn't
know how to set up
pocketpc to change locale for test purposes.
public static char DecimalSeparato r()

{

char c;

System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo ci =

System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo.CurrentUICul ture;

System.Globaliz ation.NumberFor matInfo ni =
(System.Globali zation.NumberFo rmatInfo)

ci.NumberFormat .Clone();

c = (ni.NumberDecim alSeparator.ToC harArray())[0];

return c;

}

Hi Claire,

Well, you could declare

using System.Globaliz ation;

and save a couple of words, and put it all on a single line.

using SystemGlobaliza tion;

public static char DecimalSeparato r()
{
return CultureInfo.Cur rentCulture.Num berFormat.Numbe rDecimalSeparat or.ToCharArray( )[0];
}

Happy coding!
