How to convert 'String' to 'Decimal' in grid
posted

Hi: all

    I have a problem,i have bound a datasource to a grid, one of the fields is decimal.

   Now, We allow user to input string like "13-5" into the cell, and we would convert that string to decimal as

   "13.5",in BeforeExitEditMode Event.But,the Text of the cell still display as "13-5",But the system will throw

   a exception "Can't convert to decimal".

   please help!

   Thanks!

    The best way to do something like this would be to use a DataFilter and handle the DisplayToEditor conversion, rather than using BeforeExitEditMode.
