.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / March 2008DataFormatString is ignored on on some servers
Is their any particular reason (server or design?) why the following line won't work on some servers? This is code within a Gridview control <asp:BoundField DataField="Regional Target" DataFormatString="{0:#%}" HeaderText="Regional Target" This code works on my development machine VS Studio 2005 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600) Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727 SP1 What I am getting is unformated 'real' numbers... i.e. 0.638354978354978 instead of 64%. Something to note is that font weighting like bold or underlining or anti-aliasing is also not taking place on this server, although the correct choice of font IS. I have a hunch that there is a setting on a server that doesn't- allow such formatting in favor of faster rendering therefore, less 'load' on the server? If not, what causes the server to completely ignore the DataFormatString="{0:#%}" ? > Is their any particular reason (server or design?) why the following line > won't work on some servers?

Hi I don't know why there should be any difference between the server to the development machine (I doubt it has anything to do with restrictive settings) but there is a standard numeric format specifier for percentages in ASP.NET. Try "{0:P0}" which will muliply by 100, round to the number of decimal places specified (in this case 0) and add the % symbol. HTH You say it works on VS on your Machine but not on the server is this correct ? Well, one think i can tell you is that there is a property for the DataField's on the GridView called htmlEncode and if this is set to True, then your format string will be ignored completely. It may be that there is a difference between the aspx page on your local machine and the server, this is the most likely difference.

Another thing that seems to work is to set the field as an item template. > You say it works on VS on your Machine but not on the server is this correct > ? [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > > HTH
