Format Data in BoundColumns of DataGrid

Hi

I want to format some columns of my DataGrid control.
Example, one of my fields of DataSet is a DATE field and in BD he is Ok, but
when I show him in datagrid he comes with hours too. I don´t want that.

2nd Example:
Field in BD:
DtSegm
17-02-2004
Note: When I save to DB I format Date to put like above

In DataGrid shows like this:
DtSegm
17-02-2004 10:30:45

How can I change that.
--

Thank's (if you try to help me)
Hope this help you (if I try to help you)

If you are using simple bound columns (using the Property builder) you may
asign the Data Format box in the property builder, or manually assign a
DataFormatString attribute in HTML view

If its a templated column, you may add the format as the third argument to
the Eval function, as in:

DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.DueDate", "d")

Regards
Jose.

Hi, ruca,

You can achive this by setting the DataFormatString property of the
BoundColumn approprietly:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...tringtopic.asp

Set it to "dd-MM-yyyy". See the following link for more valid custom
DateTime format strings:

What's wrong with this:

<asp:BoundColumn DataField="DtSgm" ReadOnly="True" HeaderText="DtSegmento"
DataFormatString="DtSgm.ToString('dd-MM-YYYY')"></asp:BoundColumn>

I've got working now. I already understand how can I format string's in the
way that I want. Thank's Martin.

But now I have another question:

It should be "{0:dd-MM-yyyy}" in this case, sorry for the mistake.

1. In the grid's Property Builder page, clear the "Data Format" field and
then convert your "bound column" into a "templated column" using the
provided link

2. Edit the HTML and replace the binding expression as follows (assuming
DataItem.Qty is an integer)

Instead of
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Qty") %>
use
<%# (((int)DataBinder.Eval(Container,
"DataItem.Qty"))*100).ToString("d9") %>

Jose.

<%# (((int)DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.Qty"))* 100).ToString("d9") %>

The part of ToString("d9") doesn't work.
I have to set this value: DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.Qty"))*100)
into a double of 2 decimal places

How?

Use either .ToString("#.00")
or .ToString("#,###.00") if you want thousands separators
