How do I get rid of the ";" Column Group Separator

[Mike]

My grid is grouping FirstName, LastName Grade just fine. However it is puttng a ";" inbetween each column value in the group item row.
Example: Michel; Hobbs; Grade:2
I need it to be Michael Hobbs  Grade:2 without the ";".

Is there any way to turn off the ";" so it doesn't show?

Thanks,
Michael Hobbs

Hi Mike,

I am new to Telerik but had a recent task that was similar and solved it using the ItemDataBound event.  In this case my Group Headers were showing values such as "CountryName : Austrailia", "CountryName : United States", etc.  Below is how the code was formatted :

protected void grdMenuItems_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        GridGroupHeaderItem groupHeaderItem = null;
        GridTableCell groupTableCell = null;
        string rawHeaderValue = string.Empty;

        if ( e.Item is GridGroupHeaderItem )
        {
            groupHeaderItem = (GridGroupHeaderItem) e.Item;
            groupTableCell = (GridTableCell) groupHeaderItem.DataCell;
            groupTableCell.Text = ParseCountryName(groupTableCell.Text);
        }
    }

private string ParseCountryName(string rawHeader)
{
  return rawHeader.Remove(0, 13);
}

Hope that helps. :)

Hi Mike,

You can also try setting the GroupByFieldsSeparator property in the GroupSettings to achieve the desired scenario.

ASPX:

  <GroupingSettings GroupByFieldsSeparator="  "  />

Can anyone from Telerik confirm that GroupByFieldsSeparator still works as expected? I tried setting it to a space, empty string and   none of which worked and the color still appears in the header.

Hello Sam,

I've created a sample RadGrid web site to demonstrate that the property works as expected. Please run the attached application and let me know about the result.
