A new oddity seems to have cropped up after moving our projects from asp v2.0 b2 to asp v2.0 rc1...
My gridview's have boundfield's with the DataFormatString set to {0:C}.
<asp:gridview runat="server" id="GridView1" width="100%" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound" autogeneratecolumns="False" cellpadding="6" DataKeyNames="ShoppingCartDetailID,Quantity" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" > <EmptyDataTemplate>There are no items in the cart.</EmptyDataTemplate> <headerstyle /> <Columns> <asp:BoundField headertext="Product Code" DataField="ProductCode" > <ItemStyle Wrap="False" /> </asp:BoundField> <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Description" DataField="Description" /> <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Your Price" DataField="ItemPrice" DataFormatString="{0:C}" > <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" /> </asp:BoundField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Qty"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox id="Quantity" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Quantity") %>' /> </ItemTemplate> <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" /> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Line Total" DataField="ExtendedPrice" DataFormatString="{0:C}"> <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" /> </asp:BoundField> </columns> </asp:gridview>
Previous to the RC1 build (v2.0.50727) the decimal typed columns were returning the number formatted for currency (US currency: “$0.00“) but now just seems to be ignoring the “C“ format.
However, any routines that are calling the decimal ToString(“C“), and even a regular string.Format(“{0:C}“) works as expected.
Anybody else seen this problem?
