DataGrid with Decimal values: Not showing correctly

Hi to everyone,

I'm a .Net (& CF) newbie.

I'm having problems with a datagrid bound to a collection of BindingList<Product>.
Product has one decimal property type which doesn't get displayed correctly once I deploy the application to the device.
The things works correctly if run in the emulator.

I've modified the format property of the column holding the decimal value, and set it to "N2".
This brought no luck.
Also tried to set a new culture info, still no luck.

The value of "0.52" is displayed as "52.00" on the device, while in the emulator is displayed as "0.52".

What am I missing

Thanks for you help

As you already know it has nothing to do with DataGrid:

Most likely something special with your locale settings, probably currency format.

Hi Ilya,

Yes, now I do know it has nothing to do with datagrid thanks.

It's my fault since I wrongly encoded the "0.52" with the "." as the decimal separator in the XML file.

This explains why changing the CultureInfo upon datagrid binding sorted no effect.
The CultureInfo change should have been done earlier, before loading the data.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your kind help and patience.

Regards,
Carmine
