Is it possible to use localized resource strings with DataFormatString? If it is, what is the syntax? I’ve tried to assign to the property the following ways without avail:

<asp:BoundField DataFormatString='<%$ Resources:LocalizedText,ShortDateFormat %>' />

Result: yyyy-MM-dd

<asp:BoundField DataFormatString='{0:<%$ Resources:LocalizedText,ShortDateFormat %>}' />

Result: <$ Re21ource21:Locali+1e14Tex,S2orDae8or13a >

<asp:BoundField DataFormatString='<%= LocalizedText.ShortDateFormat %>' />

Result: yyyy-MM-dd

<asp:BoundField DataFormatString='<%# "{0:" + LocalizedText.ShortDateFormat + "}" %>' />

Result: malformed tag exception.

Do you have any ideas how to solve this problem?

    I resolved the issue by creating an additional resource string ShortDateFormatString that essentially contains the {0:} that is necessary for the formatter to understand the notation.
