How to format values shown in the XtraGrid

Description:
I have a TextEdit control bound to a Decimal field in a DataTable. Its value is always displayed with a decimal point and trailing 0 e.g. "123.0", which I don't want. I want just "123" to be displayed.

Answer:
If you wish to eliminate the fractional portion, I suggest that you set the column's DisplayFormat property value as shown below:

FormatString = #0
FormatType = Numeric

If you wish this formatting take place when editing as well, you should create a RepositoryItemTextEdit, set its EditFormat property value as I mentioned and assign the column's ColumnEdit property to the repositoryItem created.
