❔ Number formatting issue

Hi all! I'm currently dealing with an issue where number formatting is not working as intended. I'm using ASP.NET MVC and when I try to submit I form, form validation stops the request and it shows " The field ... must be a number". Whenever I change the numbers to for example 4.80, it submits the form, however it saves it as 480, so it doesn't include the comma correctly. We've recently added Globalization/localization to our application and this seems to have caused the issue. Code snippet of that:

// Configure localization
var supportedCultures = new[] { "nl", "de" };
var localizationOptions = new RequestLocalizationOptions()
    .AddSupportedCultures(supportedCultures)
    .AddSupportedUICultures(supportedCultures);


app.UseRequestLocalization(localizationOptions);

// Configure localization
var supportedCultures = new[] { "nl", "de" };
var localizationOptions = new RequestLocalizationOptions()
    .AddSupportedCultures(supportedCultures)
    .AddSupportedUICultures(supportedCultures);


app.UseRequestLocalization(localizationOptions);

I've previously solved the issue by forcing the culture, like this:

// Set culture to
var ci = new CultureInfo("nl-NL")
{
    DateTimeFormat =
    {
        DateSeparator = "-"
    },
    NumberFormat = NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo
};
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = ci;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = ci;

// Set culture to
var ci = new CultureInfo("nl-NL")
{
    DateTimeFormat =
    {
        DateSeparator = "-"
    },
    NumberFormat = NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo
};
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = ci;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = ci;

However, right now I'm not able to do that, as it makes use of the app.UseRequestLocalization(localizationOptions);. How would I force the culture to make use of a certain number seperator and ensure that it saves it correctly and not as a whole number?

Just to give some more info, the property that is bound to all the numbers is actually a decimal. I found out that this is best for saving things like prices. By using a decimal, I've also managed to solve the issues when globalization and localization wasn't installed yet.
