    Custom Number Formatting
    In This Topic

    You can customize the display of numeric information by setting the NumberFormat property to a custom value rather than to a predefined option.

    For example to set a numeric column to specifically display with three decimal points, set the NumberFormat property using the following code:

    To write code in Visual Basic

    Visual Basic
    Copy Code
    Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.Columns("Value").NumberFormat = "0.000"
    

    To write code in C#

    C#
    Copy Code
    this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns["Value"].NumberFormat = "0.000";
    

    To set a date column to specifically display in the mm/dd/yyyy format, set the NumberFormat property using the following code:

    To write code in Visual Basic

    Visual Basic
    Copy Code
    Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.Columns("BirthDate").NumberFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy"
    

    To write code in C#

    C#
    Copy Code
    this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns["BirthDate"].NumberFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy";
