show just the date in a datagrid column when the datafield is an datetime field

[Adil Bohoudi]

Hi all,

i'm using a datagrid to show somedata retrieved from an sql-server 2000.

this datagrid contains two columns a startdate and an enddate column.
i used a storedprocedure to get both dates. but when i use the following
code:

datagrid.datasource = selDates()
datagrid.bind()

both columns show the retrived datetime value. it's a little bit ugly to
see.......... the only thing i need is just the date value....

does someone know how to show only the datepart in a datagrid column

thanks in advance,

Adil
