Does decimal still not bind to textboxes?

Question

I know that in the past it wasn't possible to bind a decimal data type to a textbox in a UWP app. You had to use float instead. Is that restriction still true?

Answer 1

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

I tried to create a decimal variable and simple binding:

xaml

<Grid>  
     <TextBox Text="{x:Bind value}"/>  
 </Grid>  

xaml.cs

public decimal value = 10;  
   
 public MainPage()  
 {  
     this.InitializeComponent();  
 }  

It can be displayed successfully, so the It can be displayed successfully, so the TextBox should be able to bind decimal data. should be able to bind decimal data.

Thanks
