I'm trying to format a single cell. I have a unbound datagridview and I want to format the current cell as currency.

C#

DataGridView1.CurrentCell.Style.Format = "c"

DataGridView1.Item(2, 2).Style.Format = "c"

neither of these instructions work. Is there anyway I can do this?

Try this code let me know if it works.

VB

Private Sub DGVStocksMaster_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) Handles DGVStocksMaster.CellFormatting
    If Not IsNothing(e.Value) Then
        If e.ColumnIndex().ToString = 6 And IsNumeric(e.Value) Then
            e.Value = Format(FormatCurrency(e.Value)) ', e.CellStyle.Format)
        End If
    End If
End Sub

The cell formatting does not apply to the existing value, it will change on subsequent value changes automatically. I have come up with this;

VB

Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

    For Each cell As DataGridViewCell In DataGridView1.SelectedCells
        cell.ValueType = GetType(System.Single)
        Dim newStyle As New DataGridViewCellStyle
        newStyle.Format = "C"
        cell.Style.ApplyStyle(newStyle)
    Next

End Sub

Private Sub DataGridView1_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellFormatting
    If Not IsNothing(e.Value) Then
        If IsNumeric(e.Value) Then
            e.Value = Format(CDbl(e.Value), e.CellStyle.Format)
        End If
    End If
End Sub
