How can I allow period and comma as valid decimal point separators for floats?

Question

I would like to allow both "123.45" and "123,45" as valid decimal inputs but currently "123.45" results in "The value '123.45' is not valid for Foo".

You have to use Globalization. Globalization allows you to customize your numeric inputs for different locales. Have a look at the following article:

Any suggestions for a way to do it when not doing client validation? – kenwarner Nov 14 '11 at 16:28
