I am using c # windows forms and binding controls to DB fields.
I have problem with datetime fields. The problem is that when binding a 
datetime field to textbox then it shows the value with date and time 
format.
I want to show it with date format only (dd/MM/yyyy for example)
Can any one help?
Thanks

Hi

I know these are for VB.net,

    Protected Sub DateToString(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
ConvertEventArgs)
        'you could use either of the following to convert to the proper
date format:
        'e.Value = ctype(e.Value,DateTime).ToString("d")
        e.Value = CType(e.Value, DateTime).ToShortDateString
    End Sub

    Protected Sub StringToDate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
ConvertEventArgs)
        Try
            e.Value = CDate(e.Value)
        Catch exp As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("Data entry error: " & exp.Message, Me.Text,
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
        End Try
    End Sub

To call these protected subs,
	  Dim DateBinding As New Binding("Text", sqlDataView,
"FieldName")
        AddHandler DateBinding.Format, AddressOf DateToString
        AddHandler DateBinding.Parse, AddressOf StringToDate
        txtDate.DataBindings.Add(DateBinding)
