Column Format?

[John]

Hi:

I am building a RadGrid programatically from data read from a backend CRM system. The codebehind file builds a dataset and binds to the Radgrid. Can anyone provide an example on how I can set the format of the columns in the Codebehind file? I need some columns formatted as currency, some as percentage, etc. I tried using

RadGrid1_ColumnCreated

RadGrid1_ItemDataBound

but neither worked.

Thanks for any and all input.

John.

Hi,

You can use the RadGrid PreRener event to modify the autogenerated columns settings. For example:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {

     RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ColumnUniqueName").DataType = typeof(Decimal);

 }

I hope this helps.
