The formatting string can be any literal string and usually includes a placeholder for the field's value. For example, in the formatting string "Item Value: {0}", the field's value is substituted for the {0} placeholder when the string is displayed in the BoundField object. The rest of the formatting string is displayed as literal text.

The placeholder consists of two parts, separated by a colon and wrapped in braces, in the form {A : Bxx}. The value before the colon (A in the general example) specifies the field value's index in a zero-based list of parameters.
