datagridview format value - winform

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

The DataGridView dgv is populated from a data table.
One of the columns in dgv is called cashValue which I would like it to have thousand separators. So during the population of the data in the dgv, I have this code:

C#

dgv.Columns["CashValue"].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "C";

It seems to solve the thousand separator but I do not want the currency sign.
Can I use this style but without the currency sign?

Thanks

Try using:

C#

dgv.Columns["CashValue"].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "N2";

Response to OP comment:
Perhaps you can better have a look at Formatting Types[^] to see if there is something that best meets your need.

Is it possible to change the decimal places using N2 format ?
Thanks

If I change the format of the cell then the datatable gets updated too and therefore, it shows the records as modified in the datatable. Is there a way so that the datatable does not mark the row as modified?

Thanks
