Hello. I have a vb.net windows forms application that is using a datagridview. I'm hoping to find a simple way to format certain datagridview cells numbers to 3 decimal places. This is what I have so far, but it doesn't seem to format everything correctly.

DataGridView1.Columns(2).DefaultCellStyle.Format = "#.###"

How are you assigning values into the DataGridView cells?
And what do you mean by "doesn't seem to format everything correctly" - can you give an example?
