Customization of the binding of strongly-typed objects to datagrid

Question

I have a class:

class MyObject
{
  float f;
  int i;
}

When a collection of MyObject instances are bound to a grid on UI, we have a default display of the instances (one object for one row), which probably calls float.ToString() and int.ToString(). My question is that, how to customize this default behavior? How to add in some format control to the primitive types here when they are displayed?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Every column has an option to use format. If you are using the designer then open the "Edit columns" and in a column property there is "DefaultCellStyle" and there you can set the format.

You can of course do the same in code.
