DataGridTextBoxColumn Formatting...

I am able to successfully use the datagrid with design
time DataTablesStyles and custom DataGridTextBoxColumns
formatted for dates and currency just fine using the
format specifier or "d" for short date and "c" for
currency columns. I have spent 1 whole day just trying to
figure out how to format columns in the datgrid for phone
#s and zip codes??? Arrg!(That's pirate lingo matey!)

What DataGridTextBoxColumn format property works for a
phone # or Zip Code? What do I need to do to format for
(###) ###-#### (phones) and #####-#### (U.S. Zip codes)?
I tried the custom format property of {(###) ###-####} but
that did not make any noticeable effect on the displayed
output of the datagrid.

I read about regular expressions but nothing works in
the datagridtextboxcolumn Format property. Thanks in
advance for the response...
