Telerik MVC Grid - Format number to Indian display format

Question

I am struggling to get the Telerik MVC Grid to display number formatted according to Indian standards. Basically, I have a number, for example - 55555555555 and I want it to be displayed by Telerik MVC grid as 55,55,55,55,555. So I tried to use the pattern "##,##,##,##,###". This worked well for the above example. However, if I use 555555555 (two 5's less than the earlier example), then it displays as 555,555,555 instead of 55,55,55,555. I am not sure why this happens. How do I have a Telerik MVC grid display number according to Indian number formatting as mentioned at start?

Answer 1

You can localize all values on the grid by setting the .Localizable("hi-IN") on the grid itself.

Answer 2

There is a jquery globalization plugin available at https://github.com/jquery/globalize#format . That makes the task of formatting very easy particularly if the formatting is to be done at client side.
