Formatting Date Time ?

[Prince M. Premnath]

Hello All ,

While assigning the DataField ( Date Time Object from Data Source ) how just i can format the date , it takes up the default style ( as store in database )

here is my code excerpt

                        oBoundColumn = new GridBoundColumn();
                        oBoundColumn.DataType = Type.GetType("System.DateTime");
                        oBoundColumn.UniqueName = "EndDate";
                        oBoundColumn.HeaderText = "End Date";
                        oBoundColumn.DataField = "EndDate";

Thanks

Hello Prince,

You can use the DataFormatString property of Column in order to format the date.

CS:
        oBoundColumn = new GridBoundColumn();
        oBoundColumn.DataType = Type.GetType("System.DateTime");
        oBoundColumn.DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}";   // Set the format

Also check out documentation which describes on this: Using columns
