Setting individual values in ASPxGridView

Question

I have a ASPxGridView that gets populated from a database. Everything in my code works correctly (about 95% sure of this) and I essentially want to call

e.SetValue("MeanTime") = meanTimeCell;

Unfortunately this does not exist. I have searched for this but cannot find an answer.

protected void RTMonitoringGrid_HtmlRowCreated(object sender, DevExpress.Web.ASPxGridViewTableRowEventArgs e)
     if (e.RowType == DevExpress.Web.GridViewRowType.Data) 
     {
        //this gets a value in the GridView 
        string meanTimeCell = e.GetValue("MeanTime").ToString();

        try
        {
           double result;
           if (double.TryParse(meanTimeCell, out result))
           {  
              //this is the string I essentially want to overwrite the old cell data with
              meanTimeCell = string.Format("{0}s", Math.Round(result, 1));
              //SetValue would be called here
           }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {

        }
     }
}

Does anyone know an easy fix for this? I have thought of trying to format data before it gets put in the ASPxGridView but I think that would prove equally difficult.

Answer 1

Make an unbound column and handle the gridviews onCustomUnboundColumnData event. In that event, set the value to whatever you want it to be.

EDIT: actually since you only need to round the number from the database (if you are willing to drop the s on the end of it) Simply set the column's DisplayFormat.FormatType to "Numeric" and DisplayFormat.FormatString to display however many decimal places you want.
