hi

I used DataFormatString to format a string column "HomePhone" in the format
 "(732)-877-7488" in a datagrid bound column.
My snippet is
 <asp:BoundColumn DataField="HomePhone" HeaderText="HomePhone" DataFormatString="{0:###-###-####}"> </asp:BoundColumn>

But it doesn't make any changes in the display. Pls. help me

Go to the Column and set HtmlEncode="false"
