Masking a Binding DataGrid control

[soleman]

[code]

Dim bndTemp As Binding

bndTemp = New Binding("Text", DsCustomersDB1, "tblCustomers.fldCustPFCDate")

txtCustPFC.DataBindings.Add(bndTemp)

[code]


The result of the above code has variable fldCustPFCDate with the value of: 9/1/2005 12:00:00 AM

In my Access tblCustomers data table, fldCustPFCDate has a format of short date and only contains the date: 9/1/2005 as its value.

My question is how do I mask this New Binding statement to show only the date?

Thanks,
Soleman

Maybe like this:

Dim bndTemp As Binding
bndTemp = New Binding("Text", DsCustomersDB1, ctype("tblCustomers.fldCustPFCDate",date).ToShortDateString)
                   
txtCustPFC.DataBindings.Add(bndTemp)

Hi Wild Bill!

I tried your suggestion and a get the following error:

Cast from string "tblCustomers.fldCustPFCDate" to type 'Date' is not valid

[wild_bill]

For Each dr As DataRow In DsCustomersDB1.Tables("tblCustomers").Rows
            dr.Item("fldCustPFCDate") = CType(dr.Item("fldCustPFCDate"), Date).ToShortDateString
        Next
        Dim bndTemp As Binding = New Binding("Text", DsCustomersDB1.Tables("tblCustomers"), "fldCustPFCDate")
        txtCustPFC.DataBindings.Add(bndTemp)
