Formatting a TemplateColumn

[tmryan]

I figured out how to do this with a BoundColumn - but not a TemplateColumn. I have a column in a datagrid whose values I want to be formatted as DataFormatString="{0:N0}" - like I would with a BoundColumn. I don't see such an option for a TemplateColumn. Can this be done? My TemplateColumn is defined as follows:

<asp:TemplateColumn FooterStyle-Font-Bold=&quot;True&quot; FooterStyle-HorizontalAlign=&quot;Right&quot; HeaderStyle-CssClass=&quot;mdcaptext&quot; HeaderStyle-Font-Bold=True ItemStyle-BackColor=#d5e0f1 HeaderText=&quot;CYTD Actual&quot; ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign=&quot;Right&quot; HeaderStyle-Font-Size=&quot;8&quot; HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign=Center>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label id=&quot;lblCYTDActual&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; Font-Bold=<%# findBold(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;total_info&quot.ToString())%> Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;cytd_actual&quot %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

(Sorry about the wrapping text).

Thanks

Tim: One method would be to create a Public function in the code behind: See thread855-692669
