simple column format question
posted

Hi All,

I have a DataSet-bound, web grid that I want to set specific numeric columns to a specific number of decimal places.  Nothing fancy, just set 6 decimals in column A, 3 in column B, etc...

I looked through several posts on this subject and I had thought you just set the all the column .Format properties after I DataBind the grid, ie.

foreach (UltraGridColumn column in TagUltraWebGrid.Columns)
  column.Format = "###0.0";

But that did not make any difference - I still got 4 decimal places.

I also tried to set the column format via the displayLayout band and the result was the same.  Am I missing some overriding setting that prevents Column.Format from working?

Thanks for any advice.

Corey.

    I thought about this some more and I did a search on autogenerated columns and is it true that when you set a DataSource and then DataBind() it, you can't modify the columns after?

    It's strange because I am able to set various things like CellStyle, and HorizontalAlign, etc., and that appears to work, but I can't set the Format.

    I also saw a posting about creating BoundDataFields, but in 2009.1 the UltraWebGrid doesn't appear to support adding these fields to the grid columns collection.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Corey.
