Property Value

A string representing the format that will be used to display the cell's content.
Remarks

The list of values that can be passed to the FormatSpecifier property can be found in the "Format Specifiers and Format Providers" topic of the .NET Framework.

If the IsFormatSpecifierAmbient property returns true, then the value of the FormatSpecifier property is inherited from its parent.

To reset the value of the FormatSpecifier property to its default value, DefaultFormatSpecifier, the ResetFormatSpecifier method must be called or the FormatSpecifier property set to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Example
The following examples demonstrate how to set the FormatSpecifier property. 
' Short date gridControl1.DataRowTemplate.Cells( "Date1" ).FormatSpecifier = "d" ' Long date gridControl1.DataRowTemplate.Cells( "Date2" ).FormatSpecifier = "D" ' Currency gridControl1.DataRowTemplate.Cells( "Amount" ).FormatSpecifier = "c"
// Short date gridControl1.DataRowTemplate.Cells[ "Date1" ].FormatSpecifier = "d"; // Long date gridControl1.DataRowTemplate.Cells[ "Date2" ].FormatSpecifier = "D"; // Currency gridControl1.DataRowTemplate.Cells[ "Amount" ].FormatSpecifier = "c";
Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
