is converterculture not supported in GridViewDataColumn

[Ole]

Hi,

Having a

<

 

 

telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Cost(USD)" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=TotalCost, StringFormat=\{0:c\}, ConverterCulture=en-US}"/>

 

gives me the currency in my locale (kr) and not  ($.)

Is this not supported ?.

Hi Ole,

 The ConverterCulture property of the Binding class is passed onto the Converter in the Binding, if set. You don't have a IValueConverter set in your Binding so the value of the ConverterCulture property is disregarded. The ConverterCulture does not apply to StringFormat. You can learn more about this topic here.

 If you wish to influence the output of StringFormat, you need to set the Language property of the RadGridView to the correct culture's IetfLanguageTag.
Kind regards,

Hi,


I have used before in a normal wpf silverlight datagrid this descriptive code and it worked, something must be different.

<

 

 

data:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Verd03, StringFormat=C,ConverterCulture=en-US}" SortMemberPath="Verd03" />

Hello Ole,

You could use Yavor's proposal as workaround for this issue. We've already fixed it and the fix will be available with the next latest internal build.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

P.S. I've updated your Telerik points accordingly.
