Possible duplicate Formatting DataBinder.Eval data

i want to change the format of an item template in a gridview, i want to show the currency..

this is my code:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Monto">
                <ItemTemplate><%# Eval("Monto")%></ItemTemplate>
                <EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtMonto" Text='<%# Eval("Monto", "{0:C2}")%>' /><%-- Eval("Price", "{0:C2}")--%>
                </EditItemTemplate>
                <FooterTemplate>
                <asp:TextBox ID="txtfooterMonto" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>                        
                <asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" id="rfvMonto" controltovalidate="txtfooterMonto" Display="None" 
                errormessage="Monto" ValidationGroup="InsertValidationControls"/> 
                </FooterTemplate> 
            </asp:TemplateField>

i want to set a currency format, can i do it in the "<%# Eval("Monto")%>" — jdrageme01, Nov 13 '12 at 21:14
In the ItemTemplate? Yes, you should be able to do it the same way you do it in the EditItemTemplate. — Ann L., Nov 13 '12 at 21:25

You have formatting setup for editing here: EditItemTemplate

But not for viewing here: ItemTemplate
