number of digits

[Tamás]

Hi,

why does RadGridView round values if I click inside a cell in a column whose underlying data type is double?

For example, one of the cell has a value of 1,234567 from a data source. If I click in the cell to edit it, and the textbox appears, I would like to see explicitly 1,234567 and not a rounded value like 1,23.

If I set a format string for that column, that's ok. Show 1,23. But not when I want to edit the value. By the way, if I set a format string to show only two digits, I will never ever know the precise value!

How can I help this behavior?

Thanks,
Tamás

Hi Tamás,

Thank you for contacting us.

There are two options to solve this issue:

1. If you are using the GridViewDecimalColumn, you can specify the precision by changing the DecimalPlaces property:
   

   ((GridViewDecimalColumn)this.radGridView1.Columns["Value"]).DecimalPlaces = 5;



2. Or, you can use a GridViewTextBoxColumn. In this case a simple text box displaying the precise value will be shown.

Should you have any other questions, don't hesitate to write us.
