Describe the bug

Firstly, a big thank you for all of the work that everyone has put into the Blazor framework.

The InputNumber component does not support binding to properties of the long data type.

To Reproduce

<EditForm Model="@Model">
    <DataAnnotationsValidator/>
    <ValidationSummary/>

    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="name">Name</label>
        <InputText class="form-control" id="name" @bind-Value="@Model.Name"/>
        <ValidationMessage For="@(() => Model.Name)"/>
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="code">Code</label>
        <InputNumber class="form-control" id="code" @bind-Value="@Model.Code"/>
        <ValidationMessage For="@(() => Model.Code)"/>
    </div>

    <button class="btn btn-primary mdi mdi-content-save" type="submit">Save</button>
</EditForm>

@code
{

    private Product Model { get; set; } = new Product();

    public class Product
    {
        [Required] public string Name { get; set; }

        [Required] public long Code { get; set; }
    }

}

System.InvalidOperationException: The type 'System.Int64' is not a supported numeric type.

Expected behavior

Based on this comment, the InputNumber component should support binding to the long type.

Looking through the code, the issue appears to be caused by the checks in this if statement.

If this is the case, then I am happy to create a fork to add targetType == typeof(long).

@tnc1997 thanks for the issue report. We'll track fixing this for the next Blazor release.

I ran into this issue as well and checked the source code. Seems that it was simply missed in the type checking.

if (targetType == typeof(int) ||
                targetType == typeof(float) ||
                targetType == typeof(double) ||
                targetType == typeof(decimal))
            {
                _stepAttributeValue = "any";
            }

because the converter exists in the case statement.

case long @long:
                    return BindConverter.FormatValue(@long, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Also I have noticed that several of the input components have some kind of issue with bindings different types. Would it not be better/easier to consolidate the value conversion into the base class and let it handle it for all the inputs?

Any reason why this isn't making it into 3.0?

I almost forgot, thanks @tnc1997! Your investigation made things a lot easier here.
