Question

i am unable to show currency format on DataGridView. Can you people look this code.

private void dataGridView1_DataBindingComplete(object sender,
                    


        

Answer 1

if it is windows form than write this code before you are binding data to the grid...something as below in the form consturctor...

public Form1()
{
   this.dataGridView1.Columns["UnitPrice"].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "c";
}

if its ASP.Net try something like DataFormatString="{0:c}"

<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Price/Unit" 
                DataField="UnitPrice" SortExpression="UnitPrice" 
                DataFormatString="{0:c}">
                    <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right"></ItemStyle>

Answer 2

Also you can use this for Windows Forms: (or its equivalent for WPF or ASP ,...)

yourColumn.DefaultCellStyle.Format = "#,#";

// And add below if you want
yourColumn.DefaultCellStyle.NullValue= "0";

Answer 3

Try adding this

objPreview.dataGridView1.Columns["Debit"].ValueType = Type.GetType("System.Decimal")
objPreview.dataGridView1.Columns["Credit"].ValueType = Type.GetType("System.Decimal")

Answer 4

Can you check ( breakpoint or something ) that DataBindingComplete event is fired . So at least we know its not that

( edited ) So if its fired check this maybe it will help

Maybe by creating a new style it will help

Answer 5

Try adding the code @Pranay Rana suggested into the CellFormatting Event on the DataGridView:

private void NameOfYourGridGoesHere_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    this.NameOfYourGridGoesHere.Columns["UnitPrice"].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "c";
}

Answer 6

If you have already binded your DataSource to the DataGridView, you can set your cell style by setting each cell format like:

foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
  row.Cells["Debit"].Style.Format = "c";
  row.Cells["Credit"].Style.Format = "c";  
}

Make sure your value is numerical.
