Hi,
I'm using the Q3 release of the GridView for Silverlight and for some reason I cannot get any of the formatting to work. For example in this column, I'm setting both the DataFormatString as well as a custom converter and neither of them work. The only way I can get the formatting to work is to add it to the DataLoaded event but then because the data has already been loaded, the formatting is only applied when I reload the data. How can I set the formatting in the XAML???
XAML:
<
telerikGrid:GridViewDataColumn IsReadOnly="True"
Header="Start" DataMemberBinding="{Binding CONTRACT_START,Converter={StaticResource dateConverter}}" DataFormatString="{}{0:d}" />
DataLoaded Event:
RadGridView
grid = (RadGridView)sender;
for (int x = 0; x < grid.Columns.Count; x++)
{
if ((((GridViewDataColumn)grid.Columns[x]).DataType == typeof(DateTime)))
{
GridViewDataColumn gvdc = (GridViewDataColumn)grid.Columns[x];
if (gvdc.DataMemberBinding.Converter == null)
{
gvdc.DataMemberBinding.Converter =
new DateConverter();
}
}
}

Can you post an example where this can be reproduced? Everything is working fine on our demo:

RadGridViewSettings
class provided in your demo app to store the grid setting and this class was removing the grid formating. In the LoadState method, the grid columns are being re-created and as your can see the dataformatstring is not included.
foreach
(ColumnSetting setting in Settings.ColumnSettings)
{
GridViewDataColumn column = new GridViewDataColumn();
column.UniqueName = setting.UniqueName;
column.DataMemberBinding =
new Binding(setting.PropertyName);
column.Header = setting.Header;
if (setting.Width != null)
{
column.Width =
new GridViewLength(1, GridViewLengthUnitType.Star);
}
grid.Columns.Add(column);
}
