i've been looking at the datatypes...
i had to create a documenttype that has a field for price...
but somehow (i think i'm blind) i can't seem to find a datatype for decimal numbers...
how do other people do this? do you extend it with an own control? (new datatype ...)
or do you all save prices and other decimal numbers in a textfield and parsing to float or decimal when you actually have to use it?
if i have to extend umbraco with a usercontrol to create the new datatype
what would be the best way to implement it?
best regards

I think the easiest way would be to add validation to the property so that it is only possible to insert decimal numbers. Or if you prefer making your own datatype: http://www.nibble.be/?p=24
