I was led to believe that the 'format' property on the 
'datagridtextboxcolumn' class would be working starting in CF2 SP1. I read 
this on a blog that appeared to be from the CF Team. 
http://blogs.msdn.com/netcfteam/archive/2006/04/25/583542.aspx 

I am running CF2 SP2 on a windows mobile 5.0 smartphone and I am unable to 
get the formatting of any data in a datagrid cell to work. Am I doing 
something wrong or was this never implemented? I am trying to format a 
datetime object to a particular string.

It is implemented staring V2 SP1. Make sure your styles are actually in 
effect.

Common mistake would be incorrect  mapping names in which case styles would 
not do anything.

My styles are correct, I know this because I have just the columns that I 
want and i have the correct headings. 

The format string itself is just a string of chars, right? Nothing like what 
you have to do over in ASP.Net with the '0:xxx'?

Yes, it's a string which must be valid for particular type. Is it correct 
for the type?

Is the type as expected? Say, if you load data from XML to DataSet without 
schema all type information will be lost and you will have strings 
everywhere and format for, say, decimal won't work on strings.

Also, does your code work on a desktop?
