DataBoundColumn in datagrid DataFormatString is not working, why?

[ThunderMusic]

Hi,
I have a datagrid. In my datagrid I have a DataBoundColumn with the
property DataFormatString set to "{0:F2}" so it should format the content of
the cell to a floating number with 2 digits. It does not work, at the moment
it always puts 4 digits (which is the same as before I put the format). What
could be the cause?

Here is the code for the column... it displays the good data, only not in
the good format:

<asp:BoundColumn DataFormatString="{0:F2}" DataField="Total"
HeaderText="Montant" />

Thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know what could be the problem or solution to this? Do you need
more code? could it be in the Datagrid definition?

Thanks

ok, and where can I find this htmlencoding? because when I try to use it, it
tells me that asp:Databoundcolumn does not support this property.

oups, sorry, Asp:BoundColumn (not asp:databoundcolumn)... Well, it doesn't
work anyway... ;) I mean, vs 2003 does not recognize the property...
