Question

I have a Database with a table MASTER.
MASTER has a column Salary with Datatype MONEY.
Now, when i am getting data from database in datagridview, i want to show money column with “Rs.” appended to it.
Like, if salary is 100 in database, i want to view it as Rs. 100 in my datagridview.
Fill method just copies the whole data into datagridview as it is.
How to do it then?

Answer 1

dataGridView1.CellFormatting +=
        new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellFormattingEventHandler(
        this.dataGridView1_CellFormatting);

private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == "Salary")
    {
        if (e.Value != null)
        {
            try
            {
                e.Value = String.Format("Rs. {0:F2}", e.Value);
                e.FormattingApplied = true;
            }
            catch (FormatException)
            {
                e.FormattingApplied = false;
            }
        }
    }
}
