Formatting a date obtained using databinding

I have a field in a dataset (which I filled using an Oracle database) that
contains a date. I want to format the date to look like the
ToLongDateStrin g() method. The current code that I have in my label control
which will be displaying the date is as follows:

text='<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container,"Dat aItem.events.ev entdate") %>'

I know that there is a way to use a third parameter to format the output,
but I am not sure what this should look like. If someone could please help
me here, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

AFAIK the third parameter is not good for dates. Format it in the code in
either ItemDataBound or PreRender event,

I have a gridview control. In this grid view there is a column for the price of an item. Some of the prices have a dollar sign in front of it and some dont. How do I get rid of the dollar sign if it is in front of the value? My guess would be to use a template column but I dont know how to go about this. Any ideas? Below is an example of what the data looks like raw from the database: $456.95 200.89
