Hi,

I'm having a similar problem and am wondering whether the hotfix we are waiting on will fix it as well.

I want a grid to format currencies in a specified currency - not necessarily the same as either CurrentCulture or CurrentUICulture. These cells are (sometimes) editable as well (using XamCurrencyEditor). I am also using custom ValueToTextConverter and ValueToDisplayTextConverter classes, to enable empty entry to be converted to a 0 and 0 values to appear as "-" in the grid, respectively.

Setting the Language property for the grid results in the correct currency formatting being used, and I can see the correct CultureInfo being passed to me Convert() and ConvertBack() methods. However, when I edit a cell the value that is passed to ConvertBack() in my ValueToTextConverter class is a string formatted according to CurrentCulture, and therefore I get a FormatException. The code for ConvertBack is as follows:

public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
   // Get value
   string stringValue = value as string;

   // Check for zero
   if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(stringValue))
   {
      return 0M;
   }

   // Parse
   return decimal.Parse(stringValue, NumberStyles.Currency, culture);
}

Is this the same problem, and will it be solved by the same hotfix?

Thanks,

Karli

Hello Curtis,

thank you for the reply. I already read this post. This is the reason why I referred in my post to the Language Property and the Problem with the culture.

Do you have a different tipp for me?

Thank you,
