 <Setter Property = "DataFormatString" value="{}{0:#,##0.00}"/>
</style>

Hello Avinash,

 

Since columns in RadGridView are not visual objects you cannot create a style targeted at a Column. If you want to apply a style to GridViewCells within this column you should change the TargetType to GridViewCell:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <Grid.Resources>
            <Style x:Key="ss" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
            </Style>
        </Grid.Resources>
        <telerik:RadGridView x:Name="radGridView" AutoGenerateColumns="False" GroupPanelStyle="{StaticResource GridViewGroupPanelStyle1}" >
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn CellStyle="{StaticResource ss}" DataMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}" Header="Last Name"/>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Married}" Header="Is Married"/>
            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerik:RadGridView>
    </Grid>

Regarding the DataFormatString you cannot reference it in a style setter. You may define a DataFormatString as a string Resource and then reference it to a column as shown below:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <sys:String x:Key="DataFormatString">{0:P}</sys:String>
</UserControl.Resources>
..
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding ProductID}"                                                                    DataFormatString="{Binding Source={StaticResource DataFormatString}}"/>

 

All the best,

Hello,

I am using the Telerik Silverlight release Q1 2012 and attempting to set the DataFormatString of a GridViewDataColumn to a resource which is set to a date format string.

I have done what you said (see below), but it does not appear to work for me. Am I overlooking something here?

In my resources section (my user control is a RadWindow):

<telerik:RadWindow.Resources>
        <sys:String x:Key="DataFormatString">{}{0:yyyy/MM/dd}</sys:String>
</telerik:RadWindow.Resources>

My RadGridView:

<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="RadDataGrid" Grid.Row="0" SelectionMode="Single" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedGridItem, Mode=TwoWay}"  ShowGroupPanel="False" AutoGenerateColumns="False" IsReadOnly="True" BorderThickness="0" ItemsSource="{Binding PagedSource, ElementName=DataPager}">
	<telerik:RadGridView.SortDescriptors>
		<telerik:SortDescriptor Member="ClaimDate" SortDirection="Descending"></telerik:SortDescriptor>
	</telerik:RadGridView.SortDescriptors>
	<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
		<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding ClaimDate}" Header="{Binding Source={StaticResource GridStrings}, Path=ClaimDate}" UniqueName="ClaimDate" 
                                            DataFormatString="{Binding Source={StaticResource DataFormatString}}"/>
	</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>

Thanks,

Christopher

Hi,

 Please define your resource like so:
