Hi,

Is there some place I can find a reference for the Formatting options of 

the contents of DataBinder.Eval()? I am trying to Display a Date Field 

(Birth Dates) and the default value is the format of DateTTime. Does any 

one know how to format it for dd-mmm-yy format?

Also, is there any documentation available other than the stuff on 

GotDotNet? I was looking for a compilation of all the possible settings 

of the Server Controls. For example all the settings for a Data List 

like the Background color, Foreground color, etc... ? I did try the 

Reference section on GotDotNet but didnt find all the complete list of 

options. Or did I miss it?

Thanks,

Ajay

Ajay,

 

The most complete and up-to-date list of control properties can be obtained

via reflection.  The .NET SDK samples include two class browser samples that

do exactly this.  If you've installed the samples on your dev machine, you

already have them.  

 

http://localhost/clsview <http://localhost/clsview> 

http://localhost/

<http://localhost/quickstart/aspplus/samples/classbrowser/vb/classbrowser.as

px> quickstart/aspplus/samples/classbrowser/vb/classbrowser.aspx

 

Otherwise the ASPX version is available online at: 

http://www.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/samples/classbrowser/vb/classbro

wser.aspx

<http://www.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/samples/classbrowser/vb/classbr

owser.aspx> 

 

They are also covered in the .NET Framework SDK documentation that launches

from the link on the desktop.  Check out the .NET Framework Reference >

System.Web.UI.HtmlControls and WebControls namespaces.  I think these docs

are very complete.

 

Re the format strings used by DataBinder.Eval, these are standard .NET

format strings, as used by String.Format().  There's a topic in the .NET

Framework Developer's Guide called "Formatting Overview" that has a boatload

of information about this.   Looks like you should try "{0:d}" 

 

hth.

Susan

The documentation that comes with the .NET framework, ".NET Framework SDK

Documentation" has the DataList information. Search for the title DataList

Web Control.
