ASP.NET 2.0 GridView Bug? DataFormatStrin g doesn't work

When I try to apply {0:d} to date or {0:c} to number (for currency), my
GridView doesn't apply the format. It still shows DateTime as it comes from
database with time and currency as just a number without $ sign. Formatting
in my DataGrids still works just fine.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Thanks,

You need to set the HtmlEncode property to false.

My JavaScript Form Validation doesn't work at all in Netscape, but it works fine in IE. I made some of the suggested changes which enabled it to work in IE. I couldn't make all the changes because then it didn't work in IE. How can I enable this javascipt form validation to work in Netscape? When I use netscape, none of the alert boxes appear. It submits the form without validating anything.

I have a page that loads an applet. It's a cube that is used as a navigation menu. This issue actually happens in both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape. All versions that I know of.

I am using the DataFormatString property on BoundColumn objects in a DataGrid, but they don't seem to work for some reason. I copied them straight from another DataGrid where they work fine, but for some reason they have no effect in the following grid. The two that don't work are DataFormatString="{0:dd-MM-yyyy}" and DataFormatString="{0:C}". The code is below. Anyone got any ideas what the problem is?

Hello, In an ASPX page I have a "Quit" button which make a simple redirect in code-behind. This button doesn't work no more since (I think) I moved from the framework 1.0 to 1.1 and it doesn't work only on IE! My ASPX page works in FireFox. If the button doesn't work it's because of validators (and it worked with the same code in v1.0).

I just don't understand what is wrong. I have simple query. One of the returning fields is data I created bound column for GridView (ASP.NET 2.0) and specified DataFormatString as {0:d} - it returns me the row date with hours. I tried something like this {0 :dd/MM/yyyy} the same results. It looks like that system doesn't recognize that the field is date. Why not? What can be done? Thank you,

Hello Everybody! I am a beginner that try to learn C++ programming. I work in Linux Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10) environment. I got a problem with getchar().
