To reproduce: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); GridViewDecimalColumn decimalColumn = new GridViewDecimalColumn("DecimalColumn"); decimalColumn.FormatString = "{0:N0}"; decimalColumn.FieldName = "Price"; radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(decimalColumn); GridViewCommandColumn commandColumn = new GridViewCommandColumn("CommandColumn"); commandColumn.FormatString = "{0:N0}"; commandColumn.FieldName = "Price"; radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(commandColumn); radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill; this.radGridView1.SaveLayout(@"..\..\..\layout.xml"); this.radGridView1.LoadLayout(@"..\..\..\layout.xml"); FillData(); } private void FillData() { List<Item> items = new List<Item>(); for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { items.Add(new Item(i * 2.35m)); } radGridView1.DataSource = items; } public class Item { public decimal Price { get; set; } public Item(decimal price) { this.Price = price; } } Workaround: use the CellFormatting event and format the GridCommandCellElement.CommandButton.Text property: private void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e) { if (e.Column is GridViewCommandColumn && e.CellElement.Value != null) { GridCommandCellElement commandCell = e.CellElement as GridCommandCellElement; commandCell.CommandButton.Text = string.Format("{0:N0}", e.CellElement.Value); } }
