Display Only Date in GRDVIEW

[sonia.sardana]

Im My Gridview ,date is coming along with time.My date is in format dd/mm/yyy -
To display only the date in Grdview,I used

<asp:BoundField DataField="EFFECTIVE_DATE" DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" 
                         HeaderText="Effective Date" />

But this code is reversing my month & date .See in Pic.
I want to display only the date??How to do dat??

Hey,

Have you looked here:

There are various DataFormatString's that you can use.

Handle RowDataBound Event

or

1> Select Gridview's Smart Tag
2> Edit Columns
3> select Column..after choosing column you can see the properties
4> Fill DataTextProperty = { 0 : d }

hope that would be the end of it

hope that helps

Handle RowDataBound Event

For a simple manipulation of the string of the DateTime object, I don't see why this would be required. If there were additional processing required, then I would agree, but in this case, no.

Turn off HtmlEncode

<asp:BoundField DataField="EFFECTIVE_DATE" DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" 
                         HeaderText="Effective Date" HtmlEncode="false" />

Or,

Try this one if this works for you:

Yes, nepalbinod is correct.

I dont know, what exactly it means, but "HtmlEncode" will do the trick..

Just set it to false and see the magic.

Experts, Can you give, what exactly it meant and how it will goes ??

Hey,

I really don't understand why setting this property to false:

Would change the output that the OP said they were getting.

sonia, can you show the rendered contents of that cell in both cases?
