I'm writing a banking system and my customer wants support both Russian and American numeric standards in decimal digits delimiter. Respectively . and ,.

Now only , works properly. Perhaps because of web server's OS format (Russian is set).

String like 2000.00 throws a FormatException:

Input string was not in a correct format.

How to fix that? Are there any other ideas except String.Replace('.', ',') on FormView.ItemInserting event?
