Does .Net have a built-in mechanism to format strings as telephone numbers?
That can be referenced in a DataGrid?

If I wanted to build the logic into SQL 2000, can I use a 'scalar-valued'
function?  Can these functions be called from a SELECT clause (like what
Oracle will do)?

Thanks,

Yes, a User Defined Function can be called in your SELECT statement.
