custom-formatting

I'm trying so solve a problem that is kind of similar to this post . My original data is a text file that contains values (observations) of several sensors. Each observation is given with a timestamp but the sensor name is given only once, and not in each line. But there a several sensors in one file. Time MHist::852-YF-007 2016-05-10 00:00:00 0 2016-05-09 23:59:00 0 2016-05-09 23:58:00 0 2016-05-09 23:57:00 0 2016-05-09 23:56:00 0 2016-05-09 23:55:00 0 2016-05-09 23:54:00 0 2016-05-09 23:53:00 0 2016-05-09 23:52:00 0 2016-05-09 23:51:00 0 2016-05-09 23:50:00 0 2016-05-09 23:49:00 0 2016-05-09

I need to receive some time information in the format "hh:mm" ( no seconds ). The property is defined like this: [DataType(DataType.Time), DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = @"{0:hh\:mm}")] public TimeSpan SomeTimeProperty { get; set; } The server side validation works as expected. However, I can't get the client side validation to work as no client-side validation rules are generated. How can I make it work? I am afraid you will need to go the long route and create a Custom validator attribute for it. public class TimeSpanValidationAttribute : ValidationAttribute,

Assume I have the following decimal number that I have to format so that every thousand should be separated with a space: 897.11 to 897.11 1897.11 to 1 897.11 12897.11 to 12 897.11 123897.11 to 123 897.11 I have tried Decimal.ToString("0 000.00"). Although this works pretty well when the number is 1897.11. But when it's 897.11 I get 0 897.11. Tim S. Pass in a custom NumberFormatInfo with a custom NumberGroupSeparator property , and use the #,# format to tell it to do number groups. This example uses the invariant culture's number format as its basis. var nfi = (NumberFormatInfo)CultureInfo
