Does decimal still not bind to textboxes?

I know that in the past it wasn't possible to bind a decimal data type to a textbox in a UWP app. You had to use float instead. Is that restriction still true?

Hello,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

I tried to create a decimal variable and simple binding:

xaml

 <Grid>
      <TextBox Text="{x:Bind value}"/>
  </Grid>

xaml.cs

 public decimal value = 10;
     
  public MainPage()
  {
      this.InitializeComponent();
  }

It can be displayed successfully, so the It can be displayed successfully, so the TextBox should be able to bind decimal data. should be able to bind decimal data.

Thanks
