I have field that the user needs to enter State tax. i.e. 7.0 or 7.2 or 10.1



At first I had created the field in DDT as decimal with precision of 2.

Then when I binded that field to a textbox, it would not even work properly or accept the "." prperly

I tried with Mask TextBox and could not enter 07.12



Then I changed the DDT to SmallMoney, rebuilt the database and rebuilt my BO.

Tried it again, and I can't get to accept decimal numbers in either text box.



Question:

a) is it the field type I'm using in DDT, is wrong?

b) Or what should I set on the mask to get it to work?



Thanks!

Ben, before answering your questions, are you the questions related to TextBox or MaskedTextBox?

Each one behaves differently when the are binded to BO. If I remove the binding, the controls work fine.



There seem to be a problem, when I hit the decimal point "."

After that it acts weird.



Ben, I'm not trying not to follow/answer your questions, but I think you'll get a better experience and feedback if you try it yourself with a simple decimal field. It's very hard to describe and give you definite answers, depending on which textbox and when you enter the decimal point.



Try it and if you still can't see it, I then will start...



Thank you Sir!
