Hello:

I am working on an ASP .NET page and I have a integral value being
bound to a textbox.

I have it formatted with {0:N0} so that I get commas, but not decimal
places. When I go to update, I get an 'Input String not in the correct
format' error. I am not sure why it is okay for interface to correctly
display my data, but then not be able to update.

What is the fix?

Thanks,
Travis

try

public static decimal ToDecimal(string value)
{
if (value == null || value.Length == 0)
return 0;
if (value == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("value");
return Decimal.Parse(value.Replace(" ", ""), NumberStyles.AllowThousands |
NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint | NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol,
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
}

That comes with too much work for something that should be built in.

I did what you said with the FormView and GridView Updating and
Inserting event handlers. I'm not too happy about it. I'm going to go
boil my head.
