Hi all,
I'm having problems getting my date to format. Someone told me that with
the GridView, you need to use a TemplateColumn and not a BoundColumn when
displaying dates.
Given that, can anyone see what the problem is with the following code....
<asp:TemplateFi eld HeaderText="Dep arture Date">
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DepartDat e",
"{0:dd-mm-yyyy}") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateFie ld>
When it comes to rendering, the grid continues to display the full date and
time. It's as though it's just ignoring the date formatting instruction.
Can anyone tell me why.
I'd be very grateful if anyone could help
Thanks

You dont need template columns to format a bound date column.
<asp:BoundColum n DataField="Firs tPublished" HeaderText="Pub lished"
DataFormatStrin g="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}">
</asp:BoundColumn >

If using GridView in ASP.NET 2.0 and BoundField, you might run into string
formatting issue where you also need to set HtmlEncode="Fal se" for the
BoundField.for it to take effect. http://aspadvice.com/blogs/joteke/ar.../25/12871.aspx

Hi Guys
I am using the GridView control and I've tried doing the html encoding thing
as well. I'm a bit stuck now because I can't get either version to work.
I must be doing something stupid or my setup is different to everyone elses
or something. Not sure what it is though :-(
Thanks for your help though

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

I just don't understand what is wrong.
I have simple query. One of the returning fields is data
I created bound column for GridView (ASP.NET 2.0) and specified
DataFormatString
as {0:d} - it returns me the row date with hours.
I tried something like this {0 :dd/MM/yyyy} the same results.
It looks like that system doesn't recognize that the field is date. Why not?
What can be done?
Thank you,

How does one format a date column in a GridView control? I had assumed that
the DataFormat string would do it, but MSDN only shows numeric formatting
codes. Can dates be formatted using that property, or is it done some other
way?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I've been looking into different ways of formatting columns/rows in the
GridView control. I realize now, I think, that once the datasource is bound
to the control the original column type information is lost, i.e. converted
to a string.
So my question is: is it better to format data while it's still in a
DataTable, for example, then bind it to the control, or format the strings
in the BoundField elements, or if more flexibility is...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
