Change Date Format String dynamically

[Technology]

Dear Telerik Team,

can you please tell me how to change my column "Date" format string dynamically?

Now the column "Date" shows the date like this: "25/11/2009 12:00:00" and i want to change it (from vb.code) "25/11/2009".
The datatable is bound dynamic.

Thank you in advance for your time.

I use:
V.S. 2008 ASP (VB)
Telerik ASP.NET AJAX 2010.2.929.35 Trial

The code is:
            grdData.DataSource = GetData()
            grdData.DataBind()

            Dim colDates As GridDateTimeColumn
            colDates = grdData.Columns.FindByUniqueName("Date")
            colDates.DataFormatString = "0:MM/dd/yy"

and i get the error:

Cannot find column with UniqueName 'Date'

"Date" column exists in Grid.

Best regards,
Navarino Technology Department.

Hello Technology,

Can you verify if your scenario works normally with standard MS GridView control and let us know about the result?

All the best,

Dear Pavlina,

first of all, thank you for your quick respond.

I didn't find any info's about dynamic change date format string for MS GridView.
All examples are from Designer, not from VB code.

So i change the date format from my SQL Store Procedure, before Grid Bound. Now i get the date format that i want.
But the question still exists for a future reference. How can i change format string dynamically for a date column?

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Hello,

To change the settings for declarative columns at runtime, write a handler for the PreRender event of the grid, traverse the Columns collection to locate the column of interest, and alter its properties. You must then rebind the grid by calling its Rebind() method to reflect the changes. More information is available in this help topic.
