Error: Value could not be converted

[Andy Johnson]

Hi,
I am trying to use the CurrencyTextBox and I am getting the following error.

Value ₹ (START_DIGIT_OF_MY_AMOUNT) can not be converted

Here is my XAML

<syncfusion:CurrencyTextBox  Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="4" Margin="10,0,0,10" x:Name="Amount" Text="{Binding model.Amount, Mode=TwoWay, NotifyOnValidationError=True, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}" Validation.Error="Validation_Error" MinWidth="200" MaxWidth="400" Culture="en-IN" CurrencyPositivePattern="2" CurrencyGroupSeparator="," CurrencyDecimalDigits="2" CurrencyDecimalSeparator=".">

This field is bound to a model which is declared as double.
public double Amount { get; set; }
Can someone help me resolve this issue?

Thanks

Hi Andy,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.

We have checked your code example. You have bind the double data type property ("Amount") to Text property of CurrencyTextBox. But Text property of CurrencyTextBox data type is String. So, conversion error occurred.

To avoid this error, we have bind the "Amount" property from model class to Value property of the CurrencyTextBox.

Priyanga,
Thanks for your code.
In your example and even in my code, when view loads first, it has a Dollar sign ($) instead of a rupee sign. That is not a correct behavior. As soon as you start typing it changes to a rupee sign. Is there any way to fix that?

Thanks

I also want to start with an empty textbox. As soon as user starts typing, the rupee sign and the amount that they are typing will be appeared.
Is it possible?

We have modified the last updated sample to meet your requirement. In this sample, we have enabled "UseNullOption" property of CurrencyTextBox to allow null value.
