So I can help you to resolve your issue.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Hans.http://www.intersoftsolutions.com/Community/WebGrid/SSN-DataFormatString-in-Web-grid-not-working/Thu, 16 Aug 2012 04:51:17 GMTnavgowDataFormatString SSN Webgrid<p>i do have a user grid of which one of the columns show up the ssn numbers of the users in the grid. i want to achieve some sort of formating similar to currency but for the ssn numbers.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Lets assume i just have a grid with only 2 columns of which one of them shows up the name and other shows up the ssn</p> <p>i tried the following with no luck. </p> <p>-</p> <p /> <p>&lt;ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="SSN" DataMember="ssn" Name="cur" </p> <p>                        Width="150px" DataFormatString="000-00-0000"&gt;</p> <p>                    &lt;/ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn&gt;</p> <p>-</p> <p /> <p><br /></p> <p>Can someone explain is this something achievable, if yes whats the right way of getting this work.
