WCF Test Client doesn’t speak Norwegian…
…at least when it comes to handling of decimal numbers – and it probably goes for all other non-English locales that doesn’t use period as the decimal delimiter. If you look closely at the screenshots below, you’ll notice that I’ve entered 2500,00 – that is two thousand comma zero zero in Norwegian. 250000 – two hundred and fifty thousand - gets generated in the SOAP request. If I try to enter 2500.00 (with a period as the delimiter) the UI validation logic tells me (correctly) that it’s an invalid number. Switching to the en-US locale in the Regional settings in Windows, and it behaves normally (e.g. input 2500.00 – output 2500.00 in the SOAP message).
Sigh…
