Example:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "MyDate", "{0:d}")%>

Will format the DateTime to display as short-date, ie dd.mm.yyyy or
other format based on the culture.

The third parameter is the format expression.

Go read MSDN.

Again, sorry.

I do not have enough information.

The only solution that I can think of, is that you have to drop the
aspx-style binding to the column, and rather do this in ItemDataBound by
referencing the datasource from the e.Item.DataItem and reference a
control (literal or whatever) in the ItemTemplate instead.

Where do you want to change the format string, based on what criteria?
