Formating Column:FormatString

[parag patel]

Hi I am using Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadGridView Control


Now I have one field which displays telephone number
my input will be >10 digit no.

I want to display it in this format: (###) ###-####Ext.####

Can you help me in this topic how can I format this....?

Hello parag patel,

You should be able to accomplish this through the use of a GridViewMaskBoxColumn. Once you have this column in place for your specific field that contains the numeric values of the phone numbers, use the following settings:

Mask: [phone] Ext.0000

MaskType: Standard

FormatString: {0:(###) ###-#### 'Ext.' ####}

I hope this information helps.

Thanks for your reply

but what happens that it is not compulsory that each time I will have 14 digit no

so some time no may be of 10 digit

at that time the output comes like this:

look at this example:
I want to format it like this: [phone]Ext.89

I am using following code: CDbl(ContactPhone).ToString("(###) ###-####'Ext'.####") or (your format string in grid)

But I get output like this:(9) 081 2345Ext.6789

Can help me in this????
