ASP.NET 2.0 GridView Bug? DataFormatString doesn't work

[Amelyan]

When I try to apply {0:d} to date or {0:c} to number (for currency), my
GridView doesn't apply the format. It still shows DateTime as it comes from
database with time and currency as just a number without $ sign. Formatting
in my DataGrids still works just fine.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Thanks,
-Boris

this should solve your problem, set the htmlencode property to false
for formatting to work correctly.

You need to set the HtmlEncode property to false.
