A string may not be formatted correctly when you try to format the string by using the DataFormatString property of the BoundField class in the DataView control in the .NET Framework 2.0
You try to format a string by using the
DataFormatString property of the
BoundField class in the
DataView control. When you do this, the string may not be formatted correctly. This behavior
may occur when the Web application is built on the Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0.
Note This behavior does not occur when you use the .NET
Framework 2.0 Beta 2 or earlier versions of the .NET
Framework.
This behavior occurs because the data is automatically
encoded before the string formatting is applied. By default, the
HtmlEncode property of the
BoundField class in the
DataView control is set to
True. The
HtmlEncode property is set to
True to encode the string data. When the
HtmlEncode property is set to
True, unsafe script from the data store cannot be displayed on the
client computer. This feature of the .NET Framework helps protect the client
computer from cross-site scripting attacks.
To resolve this behavior, set the
HtmlEncode property of the
BoundField class in the
DataView control to
False. Alternatively, use a
TemplateField control instead.
This
behavior is by design.

BoundField class, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
