Hi,
I tried that using Northwind Access database, and it seems the expression
should work. What's the data type of underlyiny field in the DataSet?
Also, actually you don't need to do that convert by hand, GridView has a
DataFormatString that can do that for you:
<asp:BoundField DataField="UnitPrice" DataFormatString="{0:P2}"
HtmlEncode="false" />
Sincerely,
Walter Wang (wa****@online.microsoft.com, remove 'online.')
