How to use DataFormatString?

K

Kenny

Hi,

Currently I am using the DataGrid Control. I am able to bind the data to the
column with DataField="HistoryInfo"

How am I going to format the data using DataFormatString so that it can be
display as
e.g. This data created by ...

It will be better if i can call a function from DataFormatString by passing
in the string and length of the character to display in datagrid.

Thanks,
Kenny

DataFormatString="This data created by {0}"

It's just a format string like you would pass to String.Format.

I mean I want to have the function to display number of characters display
in the datagrid.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you mean.
