GeometryService.BufferAsync doesn't accept decimal distance

Question

Hello,

I use the GeometryService.BufferAsync class to create a buffer.  It works great but I got a exception when my buffer distance have a decimal.

Ex. 
Distance = 10 meter is correct
Distance = 10.6 meter is not correct ("I got 'distances' parameter is invalid")

Is it normal?  Because the BufferParameters.Distances is a list of double.

Thanks,
Steeve

Hi Steeve,
 
It turns out that it's a server bug : "Input to operations in Geoprocessing Service and Geometry Service are not culture invariant "
 
This will be fixed in 10.0 SP3 (look at NIM070072 in the list of fixed bugs).
 
Thanks for your input.

Hi,

It's working if I change in Internet Explorer my language setting "fr-CA" by "en-CA":

Tools\Internet Options\Languages\

Do you have an idea how use distance with decimal with the Français (Canada) [fr-CA]?  Do we need to have the same language between the IE and the ArcGIS Server?

Thanks,
Steeve

P.S. See my attachments for more information.

My decimal separator is comma.  I also changed my decimal separator (by regional setting) for dot but I got the same result.
