Howdy,

Happy 2007!!

Here's my issue and it seems so simple, but it escapes me. I'm using asp.net
2.0 and a gridview. There is one column which is a date. In SQL this field
is a smalldatetime and only has a date specified, i.e. 1/2/2007. When it
displays on the page, it is adding 12:00:00 AM. I can't for the life of my
format this stupid thing. I tried using the DataFormatString but didn't know
the syntax so I tried using a TemplateField with a label and something like
<%# FormatDateTime(Bind("dtDate"),"mm/dd/yyyy") %> but then it errors
stating Bind is not declared.

<cowering in corner shaking /> please help

Thanks,

Google is your friend...

But here you go anyway...

<asp:BoundField DataField="..." DataFormatString="{0:ddd dd MMM yyyy}"
HtmlEncode="false" ... />
 
DUH, thats what i was missing, the HtmlEncode property.....................

Thank you!!
