I pull the data out of my database and put it in a DataSet through SqlAdapted and then DataBind it.
My question is how can I change the way data is presented in the table?
Example: Some should have 2 digits after decimal and some should have 3 etc.
Example: Some should be right justified whereas some should be centered?
When you build your Gridview, you can assign items as
<asp:BoundFields>, instead of using “AutoGenerateColumns”. This gives you more control, for example:<asp:BoundField DataField="DateLastContacted" HeaderText="Contacted" SortExpression="DateLastContacted" ItemStyle-CssClass="resultscell" HeaderStyle-CssClass="resultsheader" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" DataFormatString="{0:dd MMM yyy}" NullDisplayText="N/A" />You can use
ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"for your alignment, and useDataFormatString="{0:N2}"to specify decimals, see here:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.boundfield.dataformatstring.aspx
