Once again I cry out for help: Does anybody know if it is possible to =
format
data read from a bound dataset before it is displayed in a DataGrid. =
For
example, I would like a Boolean value to be displayed as "Open" or =
"Closed".
I could of course create a special "display DataSet" from the values of =
the
original DataSet, but with all the extensibilities in .NET I suspect =
that a
more elegant solution exist. Am I right?

Thanks for all the help so far,

Try the BoundColumn.DataFormatString property in the help docs at:
ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDK/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwebuiwebcontrolsboundcolumnclassdataformatstringtopic.htm

Thanks for the tip Bob, but it doesn't seem to be what I want. I =
thought
that maybe I could create a custom formatter by implementing =
IFormatProvider
and ICustomFormatter. However, I don't know how to tell the datagrid to =
use
it.
