I need a bound column to only show 2 decimals and I have used a
DataFormatString

<asp:BoundField DataField="order_total_Total" HeaderText="£Total"
SortExpression="order_total_Total" DataFormatString="{0:f2}" />

This however, still displays 4 decimal points,

Does anyone have a clue what may be going wrong ?

Cheers

You've forgotten to include HtmlEncode="false"
