Question

My question is if it’s possible to format decimal data type in model to have 0.00 formatting view?
Now I use “TotalSumFormatted” which is string so I cannot sort it as it happens for decimal dataype “TotalSum”…

    @grid.GetHtml(
    tableStyle: "grid",
    headerStyle: "head",
    alternatingRowStyle: "alt",
    columns: grid.Columns(
                        grid.Column("ShowTime", "Vuelta"),
                                grid.Column("Visitors", "Espectadores"),
                                     grid.Column("TotalSumFormatted", "Monto")

Answer 1

Yes there is way, use the format parameter of the Column method

 @grid.GetHtml(
    tableStyle: "grid",
    headerStyle: "head",
    alternatingRowStyle: "alt",
    columns: grid.Columns(
    grid.Column("ShowTime", "Vuelta"),                                
    grid.Column("Visitors", "Espectadores"),
    grid.Column("TotalSum", "Monto", format: (item) => string.Format("{0:0.00}", item.TotalSum))
