Sorry, I didn't tested it. I have a code that does something like that I
said...

    using System.Threading;
	using System.Globalization;
	...
    CultureInfo ci = (CultureInfo) CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Clone();
    ci.NumberFormat = new NumberFormatInfo();
    ci.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = ",";
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;

This works for me.
