I have tried to set a gridview column to have a dataformatstring of {0:c2},
{0:c},{0:d2, {0:d}, none of which work, my values are still displaying as
19.0000. I want it to be 19.00 like any normal currency. Thank you for
your help.

Hello Kat,

Are you sure that your seetings for the currency use dot for delimiter?

Martin

Not sure what you mean, when I use currency formats in other programs, such
as Excel, it works fine. What should I check?

You did everything right. But there is a feature that is poorly
described in guides. If you want to use DataFormatString then you have
to set
HtmlEncode to false.

<asp:BoundField .... HtmlEncode="False" DataFormatString="${0:C2}"/>
