Multiplying by 100 when percentage format is set

[Elifbars]

Hello,
I have numericUpDown in my project which valueFormat should be percentage
Here is my xaml code:

<telerik:RadNumericUpDown Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Name="VMDCR"

                                Value="{Binding Path=Tier.VMDCR,ValidatesOnDataErrors=True,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged,Mode=TwoWay}"

                                IsEditable="True" AutoReverse="False" Minimum="0"

                   SmallChange="0.1" LargeChange="0.1" ValueFormat="Percentage" >

So when window with numericUpDown appears it's value is 0.00%
When i select all it's content and type here it's value becomes for example 34 , but after it loses focus the value is set to 3,400.00% but i expect that it would be 34.00%.
So, please, could you explain how can i achieve this? Why does the value multiply by 100 and how to avoid this behaviour?

Hello Elifbars,

RadNumericUpDown uses String.Format() to format its string depending on the current culture and number format. The behavior of String.Format() is to multiply the value by 100 when it formats using percentage number format. For example the result of:

String.Format("{0:P}", 5d);

will be "500.00 %" (the decimal separator depends on your culture settings).

To workaround this behavior you could use ValueFormat="Numeric" and set CustomUnit="%" - this way the control will behave as with regular numbers, but will display "%" at the end.
