Thread: Custom format column in data grid

Custom format column in data grid Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi All,

I want to add a custom format column in a data grid to display only the time value of a datetime and add a string after it.
What I found out so far is, that I have to write a method to do this.
My question is, what parameters does the method need to have.
How do I call the method? Just type the method name in the text box?
And how do I access the column and write ata back? Just return the string value and create an instance of the entity object in my method?

Thanks for help!

You can see an article I've written on using Custom Format Columns here: http://customerfx.com/pages/crmdeveloper/2008/09/11/Custom-Format-Columns-in-SalesLogix-Web-and-Linking-to-External-Sites-in-a-DataGrid.aspx

Hi,

Thanks for the link.
So if I hand over a DateTime value, lets say Starttime, do I have to do the following:
DateTime dat = new DateTime();
dat = Convert.ToDateTime(Starttime);
string result = dat.ToString("hh:mm") + " Uhr";
return result;

Thanks!

Yep, looks right to me. You'll be getting a object passed in and passing a string back out.
