August CTP DataFormatString in Gridview not working

[Gerhard Pretorius]

Since installing the VS.NET August CTP the DataFormatString of the
BoundField in the Gridview does not work. Runtime v2.0.50727.

<asp:BoundField DataField="Event_Date" DataFormatString="{0:yyyy/MM/dd}"

It still shows the date as "2005/05/03 12:45 AM"

It worked in beta 2, don't knwo about July CTP, but August CTP is a problem

v2.0.50727

Anybody else know about this please... am I missing something...

Anyone from Microsoft to confirm this? Please...

This also does not work in ASP.NET 2.0 August CTP in a GridView
DataFormatString="{0:#.#}"

Please, someone from Microsoft, can you confirm this?

Thanks

I don't know if you have found the answer already, but it is by design
that the DataFormatString doesn't work with HtmlEncode=true (default).
So change HtmlEncode to False and it will work. See also
