    <globalization uiCulture="en-US" culture="en-US"/>

    Product.cs

    ...
        [Required(ErrorMessage="Price is required")]
        [Range(0.01, 100000.00,
            ErrorMessage="Price must be between 0.01 and 100000.00")]
        public decimal Price { get; set; }
    ...
    

    When I enter '89.48', form is giving 'The value '89.48' is not valid for Price'. I think this is becuase of default language of my PC. It is not English. It is Russian. enter image description here

    I tried to solve this issue by haacked.com instructions:

    1. I have created Model class DecimalModelBinder and copied code from haacked.com into class
    2. Updated Global.asax with

      ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(decimal), new DecimalModelBinder());
      

      No effect. Then I tried to fix it by client-side validation 1.Added JavaScript file called "jQueryFixes.js" with code

    $.validator.methods.range = function (value, element, param) {
        var globalizedValue = value.replace(",", ".");
        return this.optional(element) || (globalizedValue >= param[0] && globalizedValue <= param[1]);
    }
    
    $.validator.methods.number = function (value, element) {
        return this.optional(element) || /^-?(?:\d+|\d{1,3}(?:[\s\.,]\d{3})+)(?:[\.,]\d+)?$/.test(value);
    }
    

    This code did not solve this issue. Can you suggest what I am doing wrong here?
