Thank you Andi.  I should be able to get to this next week and give you feedback.

I really don't have the time to create the sample, but you can create it as it's very simple per the info I've provided.  Just create a grid and set it's culture to say ru-RU (Russian).  Create one of your columns as a template that holds a label and then format that column's value, during the data binding, using the another culture like en-US.  Once displayed, use the export and you'll see your template column formatted in the ru-RU culture.  For our case we use currency, so don't forget to set your data type to "System.Decimal" if you're going to also use currency.

Yes, I tried that already per my post and it does not work.  The culture assigned to the grid still overrides this.  Look at the result of your example.  It's not formatted correctly.  Did you actually read my post closely?

We still need the option to set the culture specifically on a column, row and/or cell.  Our system will be used worldwide and someone in the US would be using it in English where a colleague in the Netherlands may be using Dutch and another colleague in France using Francais.  But in all cases, some grids will need to display specific currency columns based not on the home language, but the base currency.  So just because the user in the Netherlands (nl-NL) is using our product in Dutch, their base currency may still be set in US Dollars.  So it's very important that we have the ability to format, correctly, the value based on a different culture, at the column/row/cell level, than the global grid layout setting.

This is critical to us so please pass this on to development to see the feasibility of getting this in as a feature and how quick it can be done.  Also, would you please find out if there's a way we can override the grid formatting?  Is there an override I'm missing other than OnInitializeCell?  Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, we use DataFormatString but it only formats according to the assigned culture, so if you set it to "C2" for currency, for example, it'll get formatted according to the layout culture assigned.

We need to have the ability to assign a culture at the row, column and/or cell level or at least an override format.  Would you please add this as a request for a future enhancement?  This is a big one for us so we can use this feature sooner than later please.

In the meanwhile, do you guys have some ideas on how to achieve what we need?

Thank you Niven.  By the way, FWIW, it would be professional to have an outgoing message during off hours that tells your callers what the hours are rather than the default phone system's mailbox message.
