I throw that exception because in MS.NET documentation I found this
specification:

D or d
Decimal
This format is supported for integral types only. The number is
converted to a string of decimal digits (0-9), prefixed by a minus sign
if the number is negative. The precision specifier indicates the minimum
number of digits desired in the resulting string. If required, the
number is padded with zeros to its left to produce the number of digits
given by the precision specifier.

I found it in:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconstandardnumericformatstrings.asp

What must I do at this point?

Good, now I will change that method for using General formatting in the
"Decimal" cases. I will wait for a few days to commit the changes (Now I
have no time to do anything).
