Am trying to bind a value that comes from DB to a asp:textbox in gridview. but am unable to use bind & parsefloat together. where do i include parsefloat in the below code line

 

Text='<%# Bind("Area") %>'

I'm not sure this mixing of client-side and server-side code is correct or perhaps I've misunderstood the problem. Can you post more code and give some context to your problem to help solve it.

This is the coding that i am using. Now when a user enters a number like 0.0000006, the number being displayed after the page refresh is an exponential number like '07E-06' or so. I want this to be displayed as a proper decimal number. now how do i do that?. the data type used in DB is double.

<ItemTemplate>
                                    <asp:Label ID="lblArea" runat="server" CssClass="labelWidthSmall_PP"  Text='<%# Bind("Area") %>'></asp:Label>
                                </ItemTemplate>

As suspected, you're mixing up ASP.NET (server-side) with JavaScript (client-side). If you want the number to be displayed correctly when the page loads, use server-side code. There's no point in using client-side code to change a number display unless the number itself was generated client-side.
