Hi there,
I'm trying to format a field in a BDC (Business Data Catalog) definition, in SharePoint, with a thousand separator.
It doesn't appear to be possible in the BDC XML definition, and only possible through the SharePoint Designer(!). The fields I've got at present are System.Decimal, so it displays as 12345.98, but I'm wanting it to display as 12,345.98.
Do you know if it can be achieved through the BDC XML Definition ?
<Parameter Direction="Return" Name="@ContactTotals">
<TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.Data.IDataReader, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" IsCollection="true" Name="Reader">
<TypeDescriptors>
<TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.Data.IDataRecord, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" Name="Record">
<TypeDescriptors>
<TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.Int32" IdentifierName="dim_claims_key" Name="dim_claims_key" />
<TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.Decimal" Name="total_outstanding" DefaultDisplayName="Total Outstanding (USD)" />
<TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.Decimal" Name="total_paid" DefaultDisplayName="Total Paid (USD)" />
<TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.Decimal" Name="total_incurred" DefaultDisplayName="Total Incurred (USD)" />
</TypeDescriptors>
</TypeDescriptor>
</TypeDescriptors>
</TypeDescriptor>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
Cheers
