Q: DataGrid during edit

[Guest]

Hello,
I am editing my table through DataGrid, two questions:
1. when I click edit it enable to edit all the fields on the screen, can I
disable a few of them for editing.
2. Is it possible to format date and number in the datagrid?
Thanks,
Jim.

Yes, set:

2. Is it possible to format date and number in the datagrid?

<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Column" DataFormatString="{0:C}"></asp:BoundColumn>

Where DataFormatString specifies essentially how you want ToString for that
column to be formatted.

can you be more specific about DataFormatString, I need to show dd/MM/yyyy, I
just check it quickly, I could not figure out quickly.

thanks, DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" worked.

Check the docs on DateTime.ToString() -- the version that allows you to pass
a format parameter. It explains the different strings to pass to control
the date time formatting.
