Question

I have a TextBox in an Asp.net form. there is a simple javascript witch separates each three digits in TextBox. it works fine when you enter data in TextBox. I used coma , for separating digits and used dot . as floating point character.

as I said every thing works fine when I am entering data in TextBox. but when the post-back occurs and saved data returns to client, every .(s) has been removed (for example 2.3 saved as 23 and digits in TextBox are separated by . instead of ,.

this problem occurs just in a specific server (windows server 2003 sp1) and works fine in other windows server 2003 (SP1)! I am experiencing this problem for first time!

But I think the problem is because of specific Regional & Language Options in the server. This server is joined to a domain controller. when I change the regional and language options to this set:

Decimal Symbol -> .

Digit Grouping Symbol -> ,

nothing changes.

when I check the following item after customizing settings :

Apply All Settings to the current user account and to the default user profile -> checked

when I restart the Server, It jumps out from domain and need to be re-joined to domain controller! and of-course nothing changes again!

Do you had this problem? any solution please!

I can not post code here, because the code is too complex and I am sure problem is not because of code because it is working every where unless the specified server.

EDIT

Also setting regional and language options for network service user may help to solve the problem. any body knows how can I do this ?

Answer 1

Have you tried using the globalization tag in your web.config? This prevents you from running into trouble when multiple servers are configured differently (ie. different languagepacks).

<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <globalization 
         culture="en-US"
         uiCulture="en-US" />
   </system.web>
</configuration>
