Answer 1

You are one of the non-English customers, which MS has not foreseen. You will need to put some extra effort into making your version run. I had a similar problem, denying me both "9,99" and "9.99" as valid numbers. It seems like once server-side validation failed, and once client-side validation, causing no number to be accepted.

So you have to make the validation congruent.

Like suggested in the comments, have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg674880(VS.98).aspx and http://haacked.com/archive/2010/05/10/globalizing-mvc-validation.aspx and MVC 3 jQuery Validation/globalizing of number/decimal field or - should you understand German (or just look at the code examples) http://www.andreas-reiff.de/2012/06/probleme-mit-mvcmovies-beispiel-validierung-des-preises-mit-dezimalstellen-schlagt-fehl/

BTW, same problem exists for both the Music and Movie example tutorials.
