Format number as currency in DataGrid

[Alex Feldman]

What is the easiest way to display a number as local currency in a
compact framework DataGrid? The data source is a DataTable.

Thanks.

Add a string column to the table and populate it with
numericValue.ToString("C"). You will need to iterate through every row.
Alternative is using an approach like this:

Thank you Alex (I like your name ) The first time I saw it on the
forum I though I wrote that message and couldn't figure out what's going on!

It's too bad that there isn't something like a Format method for the
DataGridColumn object. Would have been very useful. I guess I'll have
to add an extra formatted column, because the other example seems a
little complicated.
