FormatCurrency in programatically created grid

[Darin Beard]

I want to use FormatCurrency in a bound column in a grid that is created programatically. I know you can do it with eval when created design time, but I want to do it programatically because it is a dynamic grid. I've check docs and forums and can't find it. Help? Thanks.

Hello Darlin,

You can use the DataFormatString property to specify a custom format for the values displayed in the GridBoundColumn object.

C#:

GridBoundColumn boundColumn;
boundColumn = new GridBoundColumn();
RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(boundColumn);
boundColumn.DataField = "Amount";
boundColumn.HeaderText = "Amount";
boundColumn.DataFormatString = "{0:$###,###.##}";

Thanks,
Princy.
