Custom Attributes Format Time

[.NET Coder]

I am trying to format a custom attribute to display the time only ex) 12:00 AM

Currently it displays as the entire date ex) 7/25/2008 12:00:00 AM

I am using the following Eval in the Appointment Template, but it is not displaying correctly.  This is a date/time field from a SqlDataSource.  Is this possible?

<%

#Eval("Attributes['Time']", "{0:t}")%>

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Wayne,

If you need to format a Date, you can use the DateTime.ToString("someFormat") method. Eval returns a string which cannot be formatted in the way you have tried.

For example, to formatted the time in the custom attribute, you can do the following:

<%# DateTime.Parse(Eval("Attributes['Time']").ToString()).ToString("t") %>
