Set currency for dynamic gridview cells in asp.net c#

Question

Hi,

 

I have a dynamic gridview and formatting needs to be applied for certain columns.

 

Code:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) 

{ 

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) 

{ 

for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.HeaderRow.Cells.Count; i++) 

{ 

string strHeader = GridView1.HeaderRow.Cells[i].Text; 

List lstCurrency = new List() { "Price", "Amount" }; 

bool checkAmount = lstCurrency.Exists(o => strHeader.Equals(o)); 

if (checkAmount) 

{                     

e.Row.Cells[i].Text = String.Format("{0:C2}", e.Row.Cells[i].Text); 

} 

} 

} 

} 

 

If gridview column header text contains Price or Amount then currency formatting needs to be applied and the above code doesn't work.

Please correct me if I'm doing something wrong.
