Owing to my clearly advancing age I have a hard time remembering how to format strings in all the different places that I work. VB has one way, Janus has another, Componentart is a third. So, I'll try and blog examples by category.

I'd really like help with this, if you'd send examples I'd appreciate it.

VB

'Format with one decimal place

String.Format("{0:n1}", 123.56) 

'Formatting dates

String.Format("{0:MMddyyyy}", Now)

ASP.NET

The datagrid uses the standard VB format strings

<asp:BoundColumn DataField="availToSell" 

    DataFormatString="{0:F0}"></asp:BoundColumn>

Janus Grids

For number, use an InputMask of Number. ‘Number5’ will give 5 decimal places.
