Chris,
Eval and Bind both use string.Format() . Here is a good reference for that: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fht0f5be.aspx

On a related note, what does the "0" in {0:C2} indicate? I've seen
references to {1:xx} as well, though I've never seen it implemented.

Rich,
the 0 in {0:C2} is the placeholder for the variable you are formatting.
You could say:
double myMoney = 1;
double yourMoney = 2;
string foo = string.Format(" My money is {0:C3}, and your money is
{1:C3}.", myMoney, yourMoney);
foo would be "My money is $1.000, and your money is $2.000.

Thanks, chris. Out of curiosity, is that a known function from C or
something introduced with .Net? It looks familiar, but I don't recall
every encountering it in VB.

I've defined an ObjectDataSource against a dataset, and I can bind the

I'm wondering how to take the values in an ObjectDataSource and

I'd be using them almost like you'd use recordset fields from Classic ADO.
In other words, I would like to grab the value corresponding to a
publication date from my database, use the...

I noticed that any formatting of the grid before data binding is lost after the grid is bound to a data table in
the dataset. Is it possible to format the appearance of the data that shows up in the data grid after data binding
(i.e. changing column names, giving combolists for columns, etc)?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
