Textbox formatting and data types

[Jasper]

Hi,

I'm trying to create multiple TexBoxes programatically and fill them with values.Works fine so far. Unfortunately I'm can't find any way to format the TextBox using TextBox.Format property.
As far as I know this is caused by the fact that values which are added using TextBox.Value has to be explicit converted to string. Therefore DataTime and currency/number formats can not be applied. If I pass any other data type (using dynamic) to the TextBox.Value it throws an RuntimeBinderException as expected.

Could you tell me how I could create the text boxes programtically, set their values, and format them?


Kind Regards

Ok, thinking first is always a good advice.

Value =

 

string.Format("{0:C2}", arg),

This is a good solution, however must we always display strings?  I want to format percentages using something like:

 

 

 

<TextBlock Text="{Binding PCFULL, StringFormat=Test:{0:p}}" Foreground="Gray"/>

 

in a DataTemplate ahead of my RadGridVIew data column definitions.  I'm using DefaultView but this may be interfering with ability to customize the (decimal) strings I'm sending to the DataTable to which I'm binding.   It's not working and I'm discouraged about converting all of my datatables to string fields (and then back!).

Hello Troy,

Could you please confirm that you are referring RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX? If not, please post your question in the relevant forum discussing the product line which you use.

All the best,

In my case, I was able to use GridViewDataColumn DataFormatString property of the base.   But, Svetina, I searched on topic formatting so am not in the right product line (should have been WPF).   Thank you for redirecting me.

Sincerely,

Richard
