How to localize numeric formats for radgrid column data

[Tom Parks]

I've been searching the documentation for a few hours, but have had no luck finding what I'm looking for.  What I need to do is display any integer and decimal data in a RadGrid formatted to a specified culture setting.  I can't hardcode the formats of each column since I am binding a datatable to the grid at runtime and each time it may have different columns with different datatypes.

I want to take a CultureInfo object, and just assign it to the grid and have it automatically format any columns with integer or decimal type data as appropriate to the culture.  Is there any way to do this? 

If its not that easy, is there some way to take the culture numeric format settings and apply them at item data bound time or something?

Also, I don't want to use resource files.  The number formats should be retrieved from the .net CultureInfo object.

Hi Tom,

 Presently, there is no automated approach to handle this functionality.
One possible apptoach is to dynamically set the dataformat string to each column, either in the PreRender event handler, or ar the time when the column is created, depending on the current culture used. I hope this is a feasible approach for you.
