[Solved] radgrid DataFormatString doesn't display hex

[mark]

I need to display a grid column as hex. DataFormatString="{0:X}" not only doesn't display as hex, it triggers this execution error:

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.FormatException: Format specifier was invalid.

I tried DataFormatString="{0:X2}" just for kicks. That doesn't work either.  DataFormatString="{0:D0}" works fine, but I need to display in hex.

Thank you,

Mark

Here is the complete grid definition:

                    </telerik:RadGrid>

Hi mark,

I followed your steps and prepared a sample project. It works as expected on my side. Can you try it on your end and let me know how it goes and if I missed something from your logic?
