FrameworkFormatStr Property (InitializeColumnEventArgs)

Format string used in .NET Framework.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property FrameworkFormatStr As String

C#

public string FrameworkFormatStr {get;}

Example

Following code uses InitializeColumn event to convert .NET specific format strings to Excel specific format strings. Two of the format strings are "manually" converted and all other formats are just copied (be careful with copying as some more complex format strings can cause Microsoft Excel to throw an error if not converted properly).

For an overview of how to handle events in Visual Basic or Visual C#, see Event Handlers in Visual Basic and Visual C#. For specific information and code examples illustrating how to consume events in your application, see Consuming Events in the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.

Visual Basic

Private Sub MyGridExporter_InitializeColumn(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ExcelExport.InitializeColumnEventArgs) Handles MyGridExporter.InitializeColumn
    Select Case e.FrameworkFormatStr
        Case "##.##"
            e.ExcelFormatStr = "[<>0]##.##;[=0]\" \ ";"

        Case "hh:mm:ss"
            e.ExcelFormatStr = "m.d.yy h:mm;@"

        Case Else
            e.ExcelFormatStr = e.FrameworkFormatStr
    End Select
End Sub

C#

private void InitializeColumn_EH(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ExcelExport.InitializeColumnEventArgs e)
{
	switch(e.FrameworkFormatStr)
	{
		case "##.##":
			e.ExcelFormatStr = "[<>0]##.##;[=0]\"\";";
			break;

		case "hh:mm:ss":
			e.ExcelFormatStr = "m.d.yy h:mm;@";
			break;

		default:
			e.ExcelFormatStr = e.FrameworkFormatStr;
			break;
	}
}
