Hi

I am using a typed dataset and I using Convert to try to trim one of my datetimes to just date(I am using mssql2005).

So I have something like this in my sql query.

CONVERT(varchar, ExpiryDate, 101) AS ExpiryDate

Now when I run it in the query builder it trims it down to just the date but when I run it live it still has the time.

I am attaching it to a grdivew. So first I made a bound field:

BoundField endDate = new BoundField();
endDate.HeaderText = "Expiry Date";
endDate.DataField = "ExpiryDate";

Then I return a datatable from my 3 tier architecture and use this as the Datasource and then bind it but I keep getting it with the time included.

Did I do something wrong?

I don't remember how to do it, but add a format property to add format to the field.

ffformat property?

Sorry my mistake, I was thinking directly in the field in the grid. It has a format property. At any point, someone is changing how your data is showed, and that is probably the grid. All the times are equal or you see the correct time in the grid???

Yep it seems to be correct just has the time with it that I don't want.

And if you take out the convert from the query, it shows the same values??? this is weird, unless you are not using the SQL you think you are using.

Yep. Only time it changes is in the preview window of the sql query builder.
