#boundfield

Sometimes we have data that represent money currency. For example, in database,  we have 15470125 as data item. Then we have to display this kind of data in GridView row, using a bound field, but in "more humanity" look. So, this code will regenerate data in other form.

<asp:BoundField DataField="Currency" HeaderText="Currency (in IDR)" DataFormatString="{0:###,##0}" />

It will transform 15470125 into 15,470,125

And this for date format

<asp:BoundField HeaderText="PostingDate" DataField="PostingDate" DataFormatString="{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}" />

It is assumed there is a link button(inside gridview) that trigger a row command event. The aim of this code is to get value of first BoundField-type-column in gridview.

protected void gvMain_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)         {        

GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)(((LinkButton)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer);

Literal ltrValue = new Literal(); ltrValue.Text = row.Cells[0].Text;
