I'm developing an asp.net mvc portal to manage GPS coordinates using localDB. My model is:
public class GpsCoordinateViewModel
{
double Latitute { get; set; }
double Longitude { get; set; }
}
the autogenerated adn related View to create a new GpsCoordinate is:
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}
<h2>Create</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<fieldset>
<legend>GpsCoordinateViewModel</legend>
<div class="editor-label">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Latitude)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Latitude)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Latitude)
</div>
<div class="editor-label">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Longitude)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Longitude)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Longitude)
</div>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Create" />
</p>
</fieldset>
}
<div>
@Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>
@section Scripts {
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
the problem is that when I insert as Latitude: 41.213321 and Longitude: 12.123432 (eg), using breakpoin local values are: Latitude: 41213321 Longitude: 12123432. I need to use double because of location's accuracy, but how?
I also read this questions : How should I use EditorFor() in MVC for a currency/money type?
MVC3 - 3 decimal places on type double with leading zero
but the solutions didn't work for me. Any suggestion?
EDIT: My webconfig is:
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add path="*" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler"/>
</httpHandlers>
<!--
Enabling request validation in view pages would cause validation to occur
after the input has already been processed by the controller. By default
MVC performs request validation before a controller processes the input.
To change this behavior apply the ValidateInputAttribute to a
controller or action.

Use Decimal Instead of Double as Your Data Type, and That might Help.
Well then, Use the String as a DataType and Parse it as a Decimal value Later from the Controller.
Might be caused by cultureinfo, some culture use
,
instead of.
for decimal separator. try setting the following in web.config,hope this helps
