Formatting Numbers By Culture

[Luke Daugherty]

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I have combed the forum, and doc and not found an exact answer. For dates this was easy. I just set the columns DataFormatString to Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.LongTimePattern. But the Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat does not appear to have any complete patterns that can be used here. All I want is something like 1.234 displaying as 1,234 if the CurrentCulture's format decimal place is comma.

Also, why isn't this automatic? I did nothing to get ListView to display correctly. Why wouldn't the default behavior use the Culture's format for each type given to the column and save the user the trouble...

Thanks,
Luke Daugherty

Hello Luke,

The formatting of RadGridView is language specific. In order to have the current culture settings respected, you can set the IsLocalizationLanguageRespected property of RadGridView to False. Please check this help article for a further reference.
