Hi
I want to put separator in datagridview column ...I used below code for doing that ...

datagridview.Columns("Column").DefaultCellStyle.Format="##,0"

This acts like ---> 123456 : 123,456

but when I'm editing the cell and change the value to something else the separator will be removed and it'll be just number ... plz help me

Solution 1

Set the column data type.

VB

DataGridView1.Columns(0).ValueType = GetType(Double) ' or Integer, Single, etc.
DataGridView1.Columns(0).DefaultCellStyle.Format = "N0" ' N(zero) for no digits to the right of the decimal mark

Replace "Columns(0)" with the appropriate column designation for your application.

How to you fill the DataGridView with values? Please show your code.

You could use the the DataGridView.CellEndEdit event to correct the format, but that is a hack that does not address the underlying issuem that I suspect is that you are filling a column that should be a numeric type with strings.
