HiI refer to another issue "Databound Grid adding $ character to random fields", where you wrote:"If you are using decimal or Currency, the grid will probably assume a currency format. Try setting the Format property on the column to something like "n" for number and that should remove the currency symbol."But I need to present weight values with up to 3 decimals, and need to use a decimal field.How do I "set up" the grid not assuming the decimal fild is a currency field, and not shox the $ char ?

Try changing the Default Editor types for decimal data.

You can change the default editor for a given type, for decimal its the xamcurrencyeditor you could change to the xamnumericeditor

You can specify default mask for a data type using the xamMaskedEditor's RegisterDefaultMaskForType static method.
