- Always use a period (.) as a decimal delimiter.
                     			 
                  
- COMMA
                     			 
                  
- Always use a comma (,) as a decimal delimiter.
                     			 
                  
- LOCAL
                     			 
                  
- Call 
                     				GetLocaleInfo one time to get the decimal delimiter.
                     			 
                  
- NODECDEL
                     			 
                  
- Call 
                     				GetLocaleInfo every time a decimal variable is referenced. Use this when your application dynamically changes it's effective locale at
                     runtime.
