[Solved] Grid column format

[Aurel Constantinescu]

Hi,

I would like to format the values of a column, with no success.
Which is the format for numeric with no decimals?
I tried, but nothing worked for me.

Thanks,

Aurel

Hi Aurel Constantinescu,

To format the column values use the Format method of the column. Have in mind though that number formatting is currently supported only in server - binding mode.
You can check the MSDN article for custom number formats.

Thanks,

The best approach so far:

Format("{0:################}");

I tried many formats with no success.

Hi,

You can try .Fomat("{0:F0}");

Hello Atanas:

Do you have any suggestions for accomplishing number formatting when using ajax binding? 

We have implemented a solution in other areas to include a string "Display" field in our models and then including the original field hidden on the grid and adding custom sorting based on the original field.   This is do-able but a lot of extra coding to accomplish.  I'd like to know if there is an easier way and/or possibly when number formatting will be supported in ajax binding?

Thanks

Hi Jeff Taynton,

Right now I can only suggest to use a ViewModel object and expose the formatted number as string.

We will do our best to implement number formatting ASAP however I am afraid it won't be available for the upcoming SP1 release. I guess we will open a new support thread and attach the build there once ready.

I don't know if it is a bug, but I can only get custom numeric format strings working with .Format() with a bound decimal field. Oddly, the 'C' named format string does work, but none of the others do.
