Some controls support special data types. Since these types are stored in an internal format, formatting the output is commonly needed. For example, a date is stored internal to the control to ensure accurate representation and the ability to be sorted correctly, but it needs to be told how to format itself for display. Since more than one control and property employs data types, the formatting options are documented here.
Here are the supported data types. Click on the link to see the formatting options available.
