HI Felipe, the regional settings properties are picked up by NETCF at load
time, so CultureInfo.CurrentCulture will contain objects
(DateTimeFormatInfo for ex) that expose those properties, having that said,
these default values connot be changed from managed code but there are a
few things you can do to workarround this:
1) Create a new CultureInfo object and modify the DateTimeFormat property.
1.1) Then pass the created CultureInfo object to any method that will need
it like Decimal.ToString(IFormatProvider)
Also you can modify the registry entries Pinvoking to native code, but bear
in mind that you will need to do that before the application appdomain gets
created in order to pick up the changes.
Hope this helps,
Fernando

| Hi, here we go again.
| Thanks for every solution u guys posted to me
| Using a Decimal as a String solves the problem,
| but i write too much to use the right decimal settings.
|
| The most simple solution i see is to change the Regional Settings,
| a simple "," becames a ".". And voilá, The magic is made.
|
| I know there is some desktop APIs like VerLanguagename and
| GetCurrencyFormat (kernerl32). The .Net CF framework also provides
functions
| to retrieve that information.
|
| But when it comes to Write that information...I know no way...
| Maybe these settings r hidden in registry?
|
| Well, ill keep on using the String solution.
| And trying new solutions.
|
| If anyone know how to help,
| ill b most thankfull.
|
| Felipe
