Column Format settings are not working
posted

Hi,

I am trying to set the columns of my WebGrid to represent the data types being displayed.  I placed the following code in the grids InitializeLayout function, which determines the columns and their formats based on the type of query the user selects:

int iCol = 0;

DataTable dtColumns = new DataTable();

switch (ddlQueryType.DataValue.ToString())

{

case "1":

ugQryResults.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[iCol].Header.Caption = "Company";

dtColumns = GetData.getGroupFields(ddlFields.DataValue.ToString());

break;

case "2":

ugQryResults.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[iCol].Header.Caption = "Year";

ugQryResults.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[iCol].Format = "0000.0";

ugQryResults.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[iCol].CellStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right;

dtColumns = GetData.getGroupFields(ddlFields.DataValue.ToString());

break;

case "3":

ugQryResults.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[iCol].Header.Caption = "Company";

dtColumns = GetData.getPeriods();break;

}

foreach (DataRow dr in dtColumns.Rows)

{

iCol++;

int iDec = Convert.ToInt32(dr["Decimals"]);

ugQryResults.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[iCol].Header.Caption = dr["Text"].ToString();

switch (dr["DataType"].ToString())

{

case "N":

String sFormat = "#,##0";

if (iDec > 0)

{

sFormat += ".";for (int i = 1; i <= iDec; i++)

{

sFormat += "0";

}

}

ugQryResults.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[iCol].Format = sFormat;

ugQryResults.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[iCol].CellStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right;

break;

case "Y":

ugQryResults.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[iCol].Format = "0000.0";

ugQryResults.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[iCol].CellStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right;

break;

case "T":break;

}

}

The HorizonalAlign works properly, but the Format setting doesn't seem to work, as the resulting values come out without the correct formatting (like the thousands separator or the fixed number of decimal places).

Are their any settings I need in the WebGrid to make this work?  I am including my current setup for the WebGrid on this form:

    Hello Mark,

    I am not sure that the format strings you have used are what we support in the grid. I think that for formatting values in this format, we use something like "####.#"

    We typically try to follow what is used by Microsoft in the framework, e.g. what is documented here:
