OK this is probably a total noob question, but I have been struggling with it greatly.



I have a website, bound to SQL Server data. My question is about formatting of the different datatypes and data entry.



For dates I have a binding format of {0:d} and am using calendar controls for theuser to enter the dates, so proper formatting of the data entry is not an issue.



I have other fields of type money and integer and no matter what I try, I get this, Input string was not in a correct format.



When I put a BindingFormat of {0:c} the money values look pretty but when the user enters data it throws up, likewise with the integer if they put a comma.



I am new to this method of formatting and before a few days ago had never see anything like {0:c} or {0:N3}.



Can you point me in the right direction? I am guessing that the user input must match exactly what the SQL Server is expecting, but i am having issues making that happen.



Thanks
