------------------------------------------
10-Mar-2005 10:50:00 10-03-2005

Let me explain my problem more clearly.

1. I drag and drop GridView in Design time.
2. In run time I assigned the Datasource and Bind it.
3. The gridview contains 4 columns, one of them is DataTime.
4. Which will display the data like "10-Mar-2005 10:50:00".
5. But our user don't like to see the Time in the Gridview report.
6. I need to eliminate the Time during the RunTime (or if u have any
idea, plz suggest).
7. What I did was, in the prerender event I tried to set the
"DATAFORMATSTRI NG" property of the column.
8. But it throws error.

Hope I explained my issue step by step.
Plz guide me what to do?

Set the dataformat string to "MM-dd-yyyy"

Example:

ASPX:
<asp:DataGrid ID="dg" runat="server" AutoGenerateCol umns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColum n DataField="dt" DataFormatStrin g="{0:MM-dd-yyyy}"
HeaderText="For matted Version" />
<asp:BoundColum n DataField="dt" HeaderText="Unf ormatted Version" />
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>
CS: (binds some bogus data)

protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add( "dt", Type.GetType("S ystem.DateTime" ));
for (int q = 1; q < 11; q++)
{
DataRow r = dt.NewRow();
r["dt"] = System.DateTime .Now.AddDays(q) ;
dt.Rows.Add(r);
}
dg.DataSource = dt;
dg.DataBind();
}

I have a GridView that is bound to a collection of DateTimes (i.e. - Collection<DateTime>).

But the DataFormatString doesn't seem to have any effect. The DateTime gets displayed with the time. I have another GridView that is bound...

hi, with a derived DataGrid control, i can override the CreateColumnSet method and scan into the DataGridColumns and set the DataFormatString, e.g. leave out the time part of a DateTime value. this works great for a DataGrid control. however i'm upgrading this control to inherit from GridView. there seems to be a limitation of the gridview "Method not supported" when you try and set a DataFormatString on an AutoGeneratedField.

I have a GridView control with three columns, all BoundField columns. They all have a HeaderText and DataField property set, and the third one has a DataFormatString property as well. When I run my code, the GridView displays two sets of columns. The first set looks exactly as I would expect. The second set, which should not be there anyway, uses the DataField as the header and does not apply the DataFormatString for the third column. What...
