Item Template Query

Hi,

Within a datagrid I have a value that is a currency value within a shopping cart page. This value takes the individual amount of the item and multiplies the quantity value to give the sub total. However I want to add a "Â£" sign before the value i.e. Not 30.00 BUT Â£30.00.

Now I know you can use the code dataformatstring="Â£{0:F2}" when using a boundcolumn within a datagrid but how about when using an item template ? Sample code below written in asp.net 1.1 and vb2003 - thanks :

Code:

 <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Amount">
                                            <HeaderStyle horizontalalign="Center"></HeaderStyle>
                                            <ItemStyle horizontalalign="Center"></ItemStyle>
                                            <ItemTemplate>
                                                <%# FormatNumber(GetAmount(Container.DataItem("curSalePrice"), Container.DataItem("intQuantityOrder"))) %> 
                                            </ItemTemplate>
                                        </asp:TemplateColumn>

 

...

 Function GetAmount(curSalePrice As Decimal, intQuantity As Decimal)
            Amount = curSalePrice * intQuantity
            Total =+ Amount
            Return Amount
    End Function

    Function GetTotal()
            Return Total
    End Function
