Yes the columns are autogenerated and there are over 100 of columns.

Out of those 100 columns lets say I want to format 2 columns which are of type DATETIME

As per your comment, I tried defining only a single column explicitly as below:

@(Html.Infragistics().Grid<Data>(Model.DataCollection).ID("mGrid")

       .AutoGenerateColumns(true)

        .Columns(col =>
                  {
                             col.For(x => x.CreateDate).HeaderText("CreateDate").DataType("date").Format("MM-dd-yyyy h:mm:ss tt");
                   }
         )
        .Height("600px")
        .DataBind()
        .Render()
)

The above code only renders the explicitly defined column and does not render the remaining ones although AUTOGENERATECOLUMNSis set to TRUE.

Hi Tsvetelina,

It looks like we can give format options while specifying the columns.

What if I have hundreds of columns in the grid ?? Is there any way to specify only columns to which I want to apply for format ??

Thanks a ton Martin.
