Send decimal number as json parameter to web service

Send decimal number as json parameter to web service

Hi, I have a json call that consumes a web service, it request several parameters, all of them string, but one of them is a decimal, something like this for example "2.21" as string, however, jQuery keeps crashing with error "500 undefined" if that parameter contains a dot, however if I change it to comma, it works, but the number is stored in the database as integer, with no coma, this my my code:

  2. function addReportLine()
  3. {
  4. var productVal = $("#productCode").val();
  5. var nameVal = $("#productName").val();
  6. var unitVal = $("#unitPrice").val();
  7. var qtyVal = $("#qty").val();
  8. var totalVal = $("#totalPrice").val();
  9. var whVal = "";
  10. var userVal     = $("#username").val();

  12. $.ajax({
  13. type: "POST",
  14. contentType: "application/json",
  15. url: "http://IP/Service1.svc/testMethod",
  16. data: JSON.stringify({ productId: productVal, productName: nameVal, warehouse: whVal, unitPrice: unitVal, totalPrice: totalVal, qty: qtyVal, currentUser: userVal }),
  17. dataType: "json",
  18. success: function (data){
  19. populateReportGrid();
  20. },
  21. error: function(result){
  22. alert(result.status + ' ' + result.StatusText);
  23. }
  24. });
  25. }
It works great if the parameter "unitPriceVal" does not contain dots, but I need that so I can store the right number in the database, is there any way to send the value with the dot and save it in the server? Thanks a lot!
