What property controls the "format" of DataTable columns?
-
I have a DataTable (dt) with a DataColumn (dc) whose Datatype is System.Int64. I want this column to display the 64 bit Int in Hexadecimal format, as if the number had been converted like
Int64Data.ToString("X"). What property of a column controls this display? There's no "format" property for a column, and "Expression" appears to be for aggregation. It's important that the column datatype remain INT64 (and not string), or I would just do the formatting conversion myself. Can somebody point me to the correct method for setting the column display formatting? Thanks. -

You format the display of the column in the DataGridView, in which the DataTable data is displayed. Man, you don't do any table stuff for a year, and you forget everything.
