changing currency display format dynamically from code

[Shankar]

Hi,

I need to display the currency values display format(i.e. currency symbol) in a column in the gridview.  

Can anyone please tell me how to change the currency symbol dynamically from code.

Thanks in advance.


Thanks & Regards,
Shankar.

Hi Shankar,

To achieve desired result you have to set the DataFormatString property for that column in code behind based on appropriate culture,I would also suggest you to see the following forum thread.

Hi,

What i want is, i need to change the currency symbol dynamically from code behind.   The currency symbol changes with the user selection of currency type.  Right now, i am able to format the currency, but it is always displayed as dollar.   I need to change it to 
GBP, Euro etc.

Sorry!  I was not clear enough in my previous post.


Thanks, 
Shankar.

Hello Shankar,

You still can use DataFormatString Property of the column to set the currency you need. For example:

private void Button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var column = this.playersGrid.Columns[1] as GridViewDataColumn;
    column.DataFormatString = "{0:N2}£";
}

private void Button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var column = this.playersGrid.Columns[1] as GridViewDataColumn;
    column.DataFormatString = "€{0:N2}";
}

 

Sincerely yours,
