Bug in Decimal.Parse() | ????

Hi,

I have a issue with parsing a decimal in Asp.net.

/*
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Globalization;

public partial class Default2 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
decimal sum = 0;
string amount = "1,11";

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
sum += decimal.Parse(amount, NumberStyles.Any);
}

string count2Str = string.Format("{0}", sum);

Response.Write(sum);
}
}
*/

Running the code on localhost results in : 4,44
Running the code on Discountasp.net results in : 444

Is the issue generally know? Is there a workAround for this issue?

Thanks in advance

 

...Have you tried it this way?
decimal.Parse(stringValue.Replace(',', '.'), NumberStyles.Any, amount);

...Where you can filter/replace as needed?
All the best,
Mark

 

Yes, something like that, unfortunately no luck :-(
I will give it a second try..

Update:

Second try no good..

FYI

NumberStyles.Any must allow the style AllowThousands.

NumberStyles.AllowThousands says:

Indicates that the numeric string can have group separators, for example, separating the hundreds from the thousands.
Valid group separator characters are determined by the NumberGroupSeparator and CurrencyGroupSeparator properties
of NumberFormatInfo and the number of digits in each group is
determined by the NumberGroupSizes and CurrencyGroupSizes properties of NumberFormatInfo.

 

Workaround:

/*
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Globalization;
public partial class Default2 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
decimal sum = 0;
string amount = "1,11";
int charPos = 0;
int parameter = -2;//| TextBox() MaxLength

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
sum += decimal.Parse(amount, NumberStyles.Any);
}
string count2Str = string.Format("{0}", sum);

foreach (char c in count2Str)
{
charPos++;
}
charPos += parameter;
count2Str = count2Str.Insert(charPos, ",");
Response.Write(count2Str);
}

}

...Cool ;-)
