  Hello,
  
  I have a minor problem with the RadNumericUpDown. Before the Q2-Update, the NumberFormatInfo-Property of the RadNumericUpDown was initialized and the following code run without problems...
  
  

  InitializeComponent();

  myNumericSelector.NumberFormatInfo.NumberGroupSeparator = string.Empty;

  
  After the Q2-Update the NumberFormatInfo-Property is null and our application crashed. It was easy to fix, but I am curious: was this change intentional and will the property be null in future versions?
  
  Best regards,
  Thomas

  Hello Thomas,
  
  Unfortunately this change is intentional and was made to avoid a problem with Blend, which always tried to serialize the property value in XAML and since NumberFormatInfo cannot be instantiated in XAML in Silverlight, this lead to invalid code... I apologize for the inconvenience.

  Is there a workaround to remove the group separator?  We have many NumericUpDowns throughout our application that are used to display a year.  We do not want a comma in the year and in previous versions this worked.

  Hi Josh,
  
  You should set the NumberFormatInfo like this:
  
  

  numericUpDown.NumberFormatInfo = new NumberFormatInfo() {

     NumberGroupSeparator = string.Empty

  };
