[Solved] empy dataformatstring

[Jonam]

Hello,

i have a gridview with a column that displays a decimal. Is their a dataformat string that displays the column empty. If i use " " the column remains empty for positive values but for negatives values it still displays the "-" sign?

kind regards,

Jonam

Hi Jonam,

Basically, you can implement the IValueConverter Interface and create a converter return empty string no matter if the value is positive of negative. However, in order to provide with a more profound solution, I would need a bit more information about the expected behavior. Do you want to have empty values in that column only for particular items or for all of them ?

hello Maya,

the behaviour i want is very simple. No matter what the value is positive, negative or zero i want to display an empty colomn. The point of this is that the customer just wants the totals displayed. Can you supplied me with an example?

kind regards,

Jonam

Hi Jonam,

Following up your requirements, I have prepared a sample application demonstrating the usage of IValueConverter. You may find the project attached here.
