I am using C# asp.net 4.0 in my project where i need to display price in India curreny format.
eg. my number is 12550000.00 then i want to display it as 1,25,50,000.00
But i want this to be displayed in gridview when i bind the data to the gridview,
so it can be done in markup page. where we place Eval for each Item Data Bound.
However, i would also like to explain my senario for displaying comma sepearted values.
i have a set of textboxes above the gridview where user makes entries of values and click add.
this gets add in the viewstate and the viewstate is binded to gridview.
In gridview i also have Edit button on click of it the values in viewstate is passed back to textbox on RowCommand Event of gridview. and on update click the viewstate datatable is updated and Binded back to gridview.
FOR your reference:
protected void gvPropertyConfig_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
try
{
if (e.CommandName == "EditItem")
{
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
hdnIndex.Value = index.ToString();
DataTable dt = (DataTable)ViewState["proeprtyConfig"];
DataRow dr = dt.Rows[index];
if (Request.QueryString["CMD"] == "Edit")
{
hdnPropertyConfigID.Value = dr["config_id"].ToString();
if (dr["is_active"].ToString().ToLower() == "true")
{
chkConfigVisible.Checked = true;
}
else
{
chkConfigVisible.Checked = false;
}
thIsActHed.Visible = true;
tdIsActchk.Visible = true;
tdbtnConfig.ColSpan = 2;
}
txtScalableArea.Text = dr["scalable_area"].ToString();
txtCarpetArea.Text = dr["carpet_area"].ToString();
txtPricePerSqFt.Text = dr["price_per_sq_ft"].ToString();
txtCCPricePerSqFt.Text = dr["cc_price_per_sq_ft"].ToString();
txtTotalPrice.Text = dr["total_price"].ToString();
ddlNoOfBedrooms.SelectedValue = dr["room_id"].ToString();
btnUpdateConfig.Visible = true;
btnConfigSubmit.Visible = false;
}
if (e.CommandName == "DeleteItem")
{
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
DataTable dt = (DataTable)ViewState["proeprtyConfig"];
DataRow dr = dt.Rows[index];
if (Request.QueryString["CMD"].ToString() == "Edit")
{
int PropertyConfigID = Convert.ToInt32(dr[0].ToString());
prConfigObj.deletePropertyConfig(PropertyConfigID);
fillData();
}
else
{
dr.Delete();
gvPropertyConfig.DataSource = (DataTable)ViewState["proeprtyConfig"];
gvPropertyConfig.DataBind();
}
clearConfigTextBoxes();
btnConfigSubmit.Visible = true;
btnUpdateConfig.Visible = false;
}
setChecklistAttr();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}

Use the “C” parameter in the ToString function, and make sure you set the globalaztion attributes.
If you want to use a different Culture (say you’re in USA, and you want the Indian format) then just use the appropriate CultureInfo element rather than getting it out of the current thread.
EXTRA INFO DUE TO OP EDIT
All right, what you’re wanting to do to get this into your grid, is to create a PROTECTED function which takes in the number to be converted, and returns the converted string (this is basically the code above.
Now, on the ASPX side, you need to use that function in your grid view.
So, instead of this:
you’ll use this templatefield:
Note, two things. The first is that I’m still passing the UNFORMATTED value into the EDIT TEMPLATE, and that I’m not instantiating an extra LABEL in the ITEM TEMPLATE.
The reason I’m not doing the extra label, is because we just don’t need it in there. That’s just a bit more processor/memory overhead that you just don’t need to incur.
As for passing the unformatted value to the text field, that’s because it’ll ultimately be easier to validate without having to parse out the commas and other string elements.
