I need to format a ultranumicedir as percent, and stumbed upon "P" in a post, but am shocked that I can't find a comprehensive list of possibilities, especially with abbreviations.
Am I missing something obvious? Is this a Visual Studio standard somewhere?
This will come up again I am sure.
Any help appreciated.

"It's a design choice on their part." Hmmm... what a politically nice way of saying it.
We also publish our documentation publicly on our website, as well as available for download with our trial versions. Because of this, even if we did have the resources to provide documentation on Microsoft's tools, we wouldn't be able to use it as a selling point in and of itself.

Well, not necessarily ALL of it... On the other hand, think of what a great selling point that would be for your software! People would buy it just to get decent documentation.
Seriously though, In cases like this one, it would be just plain considerate to provide something as simple as a table of all the string formatting options since MS, for whatever insane reason, apparently couldn't do it.

That link takes you to a page with 8 more links... Why doesn't Infragistics do their customers a favor and provide a SINGLE table that contains ALL of the various fomat codes possible categorized by the type of field they are valid for. (Decimal, Double, String, etc...) Infragistics seems to rely WAY to heavily on MS documentation which, as most everyone I know agrees, absolutely SUCKS.
