RegEx for decimal puts 0 (zero) in the text field

Question

I am trying the following RegEx to validate the decimal value like

 [RegularExpression("^(?:\\d{1,100000000}(?:\\.\\d{0,6})?)?$")]
        [Range(double.MinValue,double.MaxValue)]
        public decimal Amount { get; set; }

rendering in the view like

    <div class="editor-field">
       <%:Html.TextBoxFor(x=>x.Amount)%>       
       <%:Html.ValidationMessageFor(x=>x.Amount) %>
    </div>

the problem is it puts a 0 in the textbox by default, please guide me find out the problem, also if there is a better way to validate the decimal field please do mention...

Try settings the type of your Amount property to nullable:

public decimal? Amount { get; set; }
