Hello,
Although you can pass a value to CellContentFormat, the actual format value isn't a feature of the DataGrid or Telerik UI for Xamarin, but rather a .NET feature. You can use any approach that work in .NET Core for the string format.
For this type of format, you can't use a traditional XAML syntax. You can however use a
DataGridTemplateColumn and use a value converter to get a custom result. I wrote a small example,
NOTE: since my PC's Culture uses the "-$ " format by default, I switched to using parenthesis in my demo. Here's a screenshot at run-time:
Before getting started, be sure to
look at the list of values in the table under the Remarks section in the Microsoft Documentation you linked to. You'll see a list of values:
I used 15, you can choose the one that you want to use instead.
public partial class StartPage : ContentPage
{
public StartPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
dataGrid.ItemsSource = new ObservableCollection<CountryProva>
{
new CountryProva("Mozambique", 24692000, -101.34),
new CountryProva("Paraguay", 6725000, -65.25),
new CountryProva("Turkmenistan", 5663000, 58.78),
new CountryProva("Mongolia", 3027000, -65.25),
new CountryProva("Japan", 127000000, -478),
new CountryProva("Bulgaria", 7128000, -101.34),
new CountryProva("Chad", 14450000, -101.34),
new CountryProva("Netherlands", 17020000, -101.34)
};
}
}
public class CountryProva
{
public CountryProva(string name, double population, double gdp)
{
Name = name;
Population = population;
Gdp = gdp;
}
public string Name { get; set; }
public double Population { get; set; }
public double Gdp { get; set; }
}
If you have any further questions or problem with this,
open a support ticket and we'll investigate further.
