DataFormatString on boundcolumn not working

[Aaron]

Why doesn't the following code display a ten-digit number in the format
123-456-7890?

How can I format a ten-digit number as a telephone number?

<asp:BoundColumn DataFormatString="{0:###-###-####}"
DataField="Client_BPhone" HeaderText="BPhone">
<ItemStyle Width="200px"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>

The width is working, I can change border sizes, but I am unable to format
the string.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

May by you need to try to use ItemTemplate.

<%# (DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"ColName")).ToString("000-000-0000")%>

Try to do it.
