DataFormatString for dates in GridViewDataColumn

[Big_G]

I have the following code but getting an error. My grid doesn't render at all.

I need to format the date in this column to not show the time.

xmlns

 

 

:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

 

 

 

 

....
 

 

<tlk:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding TradeDate}" DataType="System:DateTime"  

 

Width="70" DataFormatString="{}{0:M/dd/yyyy}" 

 

 

UniqueName="TradeDate" >
<tlk:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
<TextBlock Text="Trade Date" TextWrapping="Wrap" />  

 

 

 

</tlk:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
</tlk:GridViewDataColumn>

Hi Giancarlo,

What  does the error say?

Please remove the DataType property and see if this helps.

You can try to bind to the Date portion of the DateTime object like so:

<tlk:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding TradeDate.Date}" ... />

I tried doing both your suggestions to no luck. There's no error but my grid won't show up.

Anything else I can try? Earlier, my TradeDate was a string type. I changed it to DateTime but it still doesn't work as it should. The time still shows up as 00:00:00

Hello Big_G,

Find attached a sample project. Let me know if you manage to reproduce the problem in it.
