I have been looking through the code (and StackOverflow) to see if there was some way to format a number using the standard .NET format specifiers.
For example, I would have expected that if you wanted to use a decimal field, you could also specify the output/input format like "0.00".
It seems that this is possible via a CustomConverter, however wouldn't it be desirable to have a built-in converter kind (ConverterKind.Numeric or ConverterKind.Generic) that allows you to do this? I imagine the part of the code would look as follows:
```
public class NumberFormatter : ConverterBase
{
public NumberFormatter()
{
NumberFormat = string.Empty;
AdditionalFormat = string.Empty;
}
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
/// <param name="numberFormat"></param>
/// <param name="additionalFormat"></param>
public NumberFormatter(string numberFormat, string additionalFormat)
{
NumberFormat = numberFormat;
AdditionalFormat = additionalFormat;
}
/// <summary>
/// The C# style numeric expression
/// </summary>
public string NumberFormat { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Currently unused
/// </summary>
public string AdditionalFormat { get; set; }
public override object FieldToString(object val)
{
return val.ToString(NumberFormat, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
}
}
Have I missed something or does this feature not exist?
P.S. I unfortunately cannot use the custom converter as I am creating a ClassFromString which means I cannot reference the custom type without injecting the class source. It's a potential solution, just not an ideal one.
