Formatting fields in repeater in asp.net

Sometimes you may want to format data type in repeater. Here are some examples of formatting data in repeater-

<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater2" runat="server" DataSourceID="dsData">
             <HeaderTemplate>
                 <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="border: 1px solid gray; font-size: 10px;">
                     <tr style="background-color: #A5BFDD; border: 1px solid gray">
                         <th>
                             Year
                         </th>
                         <th>
                             Visits
                         </th>
                     </tr>
             </HeaderTemplate>
             <ItemTemplate>
                 <tr style="border: 1px solid gray">
                     <td>
                         <%# Eval("Year") %>
                     </td>
                     <td>
                          <%# DataBinder.Eval( Container,"DataItem.tot_visits", "{0:N0}") %>
                     </td>
                 </tr>
             </ItemTemplate>
             <FooterTemplate>
                 </table></FooterTemplate>
         </asp:Repeater>

The output for this is – 276,773.00 .

Now if you want to no decimal point in the number formatting, just try –

<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container,"DataItem.tot_visits", "{0:N0}") %>

This will display result like –  276,773. Basically when I placed 0 after N it format the data into no decimal.

Here are some other formatting options –

Cn¦cn 	String.Format("{0:C}", 1234.56) 	$1,234.56
String.Format("{0:C3}", 1234.56789) 	$1,234.568
