Nemo,
Is the code you're showing for the datagrid?
It looks like it's just the datasource's code...
Right alignment would be done in the grid itself.
Instead of letting the grid autogenerate the columns you'll need to declare
each column yourself and tell it what to bind to.
Your finished grid would look something like this:
<asp:datagrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server" autogeneratecolumns="False"
width="100%">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Item" HeaderText="Item
Column"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Value" HeaderText="Value Column"
ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right"></asp:BoundColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:datagrid>
Note that the DataField is the column name to bind to in the datasource and
the autogeneratecolumns is set to false.
It's the BoundColumn's ItemStyle that lets you set horizontal alignment (And
many others).
In your codebehind you bind to the grid the same way.
DataGrid1.DataSource = [Your DataSource Here]
DataGrid1.DataBind()

I'm creating a datasource and populating a datagrid at runtime. The
code is as follows:
dt = New DataTable
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Item", GetType(String)))
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Value", GetType(String)))
For i = 0 To j - 1
dr = dt.NewRow()
dr(0) = (i + 1) & "."
dr(1) = (SomeArray(i).Amount).ToString("c")
dt.Rows.Add(dr)
Next
Question: The second column contains $ amount and I need to right align
the values in that column. How do I do it?
thanks a lot
