Is there a way to format data using {0:c} on columns that are autogenerated
using coding?

Thanks,

Victor

Hi Victor,

From your description, you're wantting to use the AutoGenerateColumns
feature of GridView control and do some formatting of the databindign value
in each auto-generated column, correct?

Based on my experience, since autogenerated columns are not accessible from
the GridView.Columns colleciton (during Init and Load event), we can not
programmatically set column's format setting. However, you can still use
RowDataBound event and manually do your own formatting or customization
against the bound data in code behind. e.g.

===================
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem;
e.Row.Cells[0].Text = string.Format("id_{0}",
e.Row.Cells[0].Text);
}
}

==============

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Victor,

You can access autogenerated columns in the RowCreated event, and make any
changes there.

Something along the lines of (psuedo-code):
If (e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow) Then
e.Row.Cells(1).Format = "{0:c}" End IfHope this helps,


Steve
