How to use dot as decimal separator when the current culture is Greek

I would like to change the decimal separator in a Blazor .NET 7 multi-language site when the selected language is Greek.

The numbers are by default changed to comma separated when I change the language to Greek and this cause me troubles in calculations in multiple places of my code.

Any idea how can I do this?

Solution

Decimal doesn't came with dot or comma, but when convert to string, it will add dot or comma depending on thread culture. You can add CultureInfo.InvariantCulture when comvert.

            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("el-GR");
            decimal d = 5.50m;
            string withComma = d.ToString();
            string withDot = d.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
            Console.WriteLine(withComma);
            Console.WriteLine(withDot);

output
