Formmating item in datagrid

[alan]

my DB has a date column
my data_set's locale is zh-HK, i want to the date format to be "en-US" while
other items remain using zh-HK locale

so, how i can only format the items for a specific column?
thanks a lot!!

DateTime.ToString is supposed to allow culture specific formats by passing
an additional argument:

great, thanks!

by the way, how can I retrieve the item from the datagrid?

DataSet1.xxxx.xxxx = String.Format(locale,xxx,xxx)

You should be doing this in your template for the column where you specify
the data binding.
