Hi All;

I am developing a small ASP.NET web site using VS2003, I have a problem when
displaying date information. There is a table made in access 2003 call
“courses”, and I want a data grid component on one of the pages to be
populated with this table. Every thing going very fine except that the column
“Starting Date” in the data grid shows date with a time (for example 1/3/2007
08:00:00 AM) the bothering part is “12:00:00 AM” how could I remove it and
ban it from appearing only as (1/3/2007) with no time. Despite that there is
no appearance of (08:00:00 AM) in the data base column. I don’t know why
ASP.NET attach it to the original date !!

Please help !

Hi,

you need to user string formatting For example if you have a BoundColumn,
set for example DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" into it. If you use
DataBinder.Eval, give format string as third parameter

<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Starting Date","{0:MM/dd/yyyy}") %>
