Rendering of decimal not same in debug and published version

Question

User360138929 posted

I hope this is the right forum to ask help... If not, pleas channel me to the appropriate forum.

I have an application developed using mvc 5.1 and dot net framework 4.5. Recently I observed that the datatype 

decimal

 is not being rendered the same way when running in debug mode in visual studio 2013 and published mode. By that I mean, if I have a value of 

34.50

, in debug mode, it renders it as 

34.50

 whereas the same is being rendered as 

34,50

 when published. Please note that in the

Windows 8 > settings> region > Format customize format

I have 

'.'

 as decimal.

Can anyone guide what could be causing this issue and how can I solve it?

Please note that I recently tested other applications using framework 4.0 , the end result is still not the same as in Visual studio

I am using windows 8 and iis6

What you observed, is purely ASP.NET behaviors controlled by its globalization settings, such as

Thus, the only proper forum is

Note that Windows 8 ships IIS 8, not IIS 6.

Hi,

For iis 6, you can try changing registry in your web server.

The key for decimal separator is HKEY_USERS\SID\Control Panel\International\iCurrDigits where SID is the unique identifier of the user.

For more information, you can refer to the solution
