Date formatstring in a gridview

[Richard Carpenter]

I have a simple gridview control contained in a panel in a web user
control. One of the columns in the gridview is of type SQLDateTime. I
would like to strip off the time portion of the DateTime values. I
tried editing the column and specifying a DataFormatString value of
{0:d}, but it just seems to be ignored.

Can someone please tell me what I may be missing here?

Thanks.
Rich

Thank you! That was proving to be a difficult little bugger to track
down. Now I'm off to figure out exactly what exactly the htmlencode
controls. :)

Thanks again!

Peter,

That was extremely helpful information - just what I was looking for.
Can you comment on just what kind of danger there might be in
"cross-site scripting attacks and malicious content display" when the
grid is processed on the ASP.Net server? My understanding was that a
mere HTML table is generated and sent to the client in either case.
Where is the opportunity for malicious code to be introduced?

Thanks!
Rich
