Remarks

Use the FormatString property to specify the pattern to format column values when the LookUpColumnInfo.FormatType is not set to FormatType.None.

The LookUpColumnInfo.FormatType property specifies how the format string is interpreted.

Refer to the Format Specifiers topic for information on the format patterns available.

Note: after changing the format type, the FormatString is cleared. So you can only set FormatString after the format type is specified.
