Hi,

I need to display numbers in a GridViewDataColumn with a custom format.

For example if I have the number '1,234.56' I should display '1.234,56'. I tried to use the DataFormatString property but isn't enough because I can't change the decimal separator. I think that I need to access the CultureInfo but I didn't find a CultureInfo property in the column and I didn't find a CultureInfo property in the GridView.

How can I do?

Thank you

Hi,

You can check the Apply a custom format via the CurrentCulture article on how to apply a custom formatting.

Hi

Thank for your reply.

I tried to use your suggestion, but it doesn't worked for me (and I think that the article is an incorrect porting of SilverLight code, because the object 'this.RootVisual' used in the article doesn't exists in WPF).

I've made a simple project to explain my issue. Where can I upload it?

With this instruction it works

Me.Language = Markup.XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag)

Hello,

The formatting of RadGridView is language specific. In order to have the current culture settings respected, you should set the IsLocalizationLanguageRespected for the RadGridView to FalseYou can also check our online documentation for a further reference.

Let me know how this works for you.
