Format Column in Datatable

Question

I am trying to format a decimal value in a datatable, I understand the best way to do this would be in the database and limit the amount of decimal places stored or in the query using the round function.

However, I cant change the table and the query was auto generated through nettiers and i cant change that.

Would much rather just create and run my own query but have been told i cant.

The datatable is used to build an ultragridview in code so there is no design code for it so i cant just add attributes.

My question is - Is there away to format a column in a datatable without creating a second datatable?

You don't need to format the dataTable content. Format the output when you display in the output.
