I'm trying to inherit from GridViewDataColumn to create a column type called GridViewShortDateColumn so that a format string or converter doesn't have to be specified every time.

I've tried this

 public class GridViewShortDateColumn : GridViewDataColumn 
    { 
        public GridViewShortDateColumn() 
        : base() 
        { 
 
            this.DataFormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}"
        } 
 
    } 


But the format string doesn't have any effect.

Hi,

Just checked this using our latest official version Q1 2010 and everything worked as expected. You can check the attached example application for reference.

It works to display the data initially, but the cell isn't updated if the underlying property on the object is update.  The underlying object is using INotifyPropertyChanged to notify when a property changes, but  using the inherited column the cell doesn't update when the object does.   It works as long as I use GridViewDataColumn with the DataFormat String in XAML.

Any ideas?
