  Changed from server now decimal places and data format are different

  May 31, 2018 05:45 PM|mariolopes|LINK

  Hi

  I need to change my website to another server. My application was programmed with the decimal point "." as decimal separator and date format yyy-mm-dd 

  Now on my new server the decimal point is the "," symbol. I have a lot of math calculation and now I have to change my all code (because the decimal separator changed)? 

  Thank you

  Hi mariolopes,

  As far as I know, we could set the decimal point on that server by modify the region setting in control panel.

  We coud locate the Control panel ---> Region ---> Additional Settings to modify the decimal symbol and the date.

  I suggest you could contack with your server administrator to modify the regon setting.

  

  More details, you could refer to below article:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/locale/number-formatting 

  Best Regards,

  Brando

  Hi,

  It seems in a change in the default culture in use. Try https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bz9tc508.aspx to force the culture you want to use for your site.

  Or you were using "auto" and your browser culture changed?

  The admin can change the  region setting because it will alter all the others mysql files

  The culture doesn't seems to work. I have to insert data in Mysql databases and I got errors In code like this one

  OdbcConnection connection = new OdbcConnection("Dsn=programa_explicame;server=localhost;uid=xxx;pwd=xxx;database=programa_explicame;port=3306");
                      OdbcCommand command = new OdbcCommand("INSERT INTO aulas SET id_aluno =?,nome_aluno =?,codigo_atividade =?,atividade =?,debitar =?,data=?,hora_inicio =?,hora_fim =?,professor =?,id_professor =?,valor_pago =?,a_receber =?,qta =?", connection);
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@id_aluno", System.Convert.ToInt16(id_aluno.Value));
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@nome_aluno", lblNome.Text);
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@cod_atividade", ListBox1.SelectedValue);
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@atividade", ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString());
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@debitar", System.Convert.ToInt16(descontar.Value));
  
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@data11", System.Convert.ToDateTime(data_txt.Text));
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@hora_inicio", inicio_txt.Text);
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@hora_fim", fim_txt.Text);
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@professor", Session["nome"]);
  
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@idprofessor", System.Convert.ToInt16(Session["id"]));
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@valor_pago", System.Convert.ToDecimal(valor_Pago.Value));
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@valor_receber", Math.Round(System.Convert.ToDecimal(ganhaprof),1));
  
                      command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@qta", System.Convert.ToInt16(desconto));
  
                      connection.Open();
                      command.ExecuteNonQuery();
                      connection.Close();

  I think I have to redo all the work

  How does it fail exactly ? What is the current culture ?

  If the same culture is used when converting a decimal to a string and then this string to a decimal it should work.
