displaying double data types

Hi , I have a grid bound to a dataset that contains double data types. My celltype is a text box. When I displaying the data if it is 45.0 in the dataset then it gets displayed as 45. However if it is 45.23 it displays correctly. What do i need to change? Thanks in advance

You can either force the cell value type to be text by setting Style.CellValueType = typeof(string) or change the format to be something like style.Format = "#.0####" which would force it display at least one digit after the comma. Stefan

Here is what i have tried. oGridBoundColumn.StyleInfo.CellValueType = _ GetType(Double) oGridBoundColumn.StyleInfo.Format = "#.0####" I put in both the options that you suggested, but it still does not work.

Are you using version 1.5.1.1? Here is code that I added to a Form_Load event after dropping a GridDataBoundGrid onto the form. With this code, the formatting seemed to work as expected.

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim dt As New DataTable("MyTable")

        Dim nCols As Integer = 2
        Dim nRows As Integer = 10

        Dim i As Integer
        Dim j As Integer

        dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Col1"))
        dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("doubleCol", GetType(Double)))

        For i = 0 To nRows - 1
            Dim dr As DataRow = dt.NewRow()
            dr(0) = String.Format("row{0}", i)
            dr(1) = 45D
            dt.Rows.Add(dr)
        Next

        Dim column As New GridBoundColumn()
        column.MappingName = "Col1"
        Me.GridDataBoundGrid1.GridBoundColumns.Add(column)

        column = New GridBoundColumn()
        column.MappingName = "doubleCol"
        column.StyleInfo.CellValueType = GetType(Double)
        column.StyleInfo.Format = "#.00"
        Me.GridDataBoundGrid1.GridBoundColumns.Add(column)

        Me.GridDataBoundGrid1.DataSource = dt

End Sub

Hi, Thanks a lot, it was a syncfusion version issue, i was running 1.5.0. after upgrading to 1.5.1 it works fine.
