    one of the column in my datagrid is binded to some smallint numbers. However, i want every smallint 1 to show as the string "one" and 2 as the string "two" instead of the alpha numerical representation. how do i do that in codebehind programming? thanks very much

      private void DataGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e) { switch(@smallint) case 1: e.Item.Cells[0].Text = "One"; case 2: e.Item.Cells[0].Text = "Two"; case 2: . . . } Is that okay

        Create a public function to solve it. maybe just like this: public string ChangeNumber(string strNum) { switch (strNum) { case "1": return "one"; break; case "2": return "two"; break; ... } } maybe this method is so fool but it is a straight .... :( Study...

                If theres a way to avoid it I would You can do an interpretation of the number but that would be difficult or tedious. whichever Define an enumeration public enum Number zero = 0, one, two, ... etc.. ... } Now to display the value Console.WriteLine("The answer is " + Enum.Parse(typeof(Number), "1", true)); Obviously you would need to define tens, hundreds, and so one. public enum tens { ten = 10, twenty = 20 } and then concatenate them together. Its very annoying, but if thats what you want it will work. Its ugly but it works. Nick 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!! -- modified at 9:17 Tuesday 24th January, 2006

                    Are you using a template column for this in particular? If so, in the ItemDataBound event you can use some of the suggestions that other cpians have offered. daniero

                      You need to change your data source. If this is a table, then change the column data type DataTable.Column["mycolumn"].DataType = typeof(string); Changing the data grid itself will not have a satisfactory desired effect. Change the underlying data source, that way your change maintains consistency. Nick 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!
