A gridview has a column name "UploadDate" .When the page loads, this column value is : 04/01/2006 12:00:00AM
How must I do so that this column's value is 04/01/2006
Thanks you

Hi there,

You can set the BoundColumn's DataFormatString property to an expression that changes the date format. You may also need to set HtmlEncode="False" on the column:

<asp:BoundField DataField="DateOfBirth" HeaderText="Date of Birth" DataFormatString="{0:d}" HtmlEncode="False" />

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...matstring.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/26etazsy.aspx

(Both links are experiencing problems at the moment).

If you don't have BoundColumn controls, and AutoGenerateColumns set to True instead, you need to alter the GridView to support columns first using its Smart Task panel.

Hope this helps,

Imar
