Date and time in Datagrids

[Dan Aldean]

Hello,

I have some fields in the dataset that bear date and time values. When I
bind the datagrid the time part of the fields don't show.
Is it possible to format the datagrid columns so that they show the whole
thing?

Thanks

Hi,

What kind of grid are you using? (win or web) ?
How are you binding it?

If a web based you can use a template column and format it as you want :

<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" Width="12%"></ItemStyle>
<ItemTemplate>
<span><%# Container.DataItem("INC_UPDATEDATETIME") %></span>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

Dan,

What you need to do is get the DataGridTextBoxColumn instance for the
date column, and set the Format property to the format that you want the
date to be shown in.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ignacio for the reply.
Sorry I wasn't more specific. It is a Windows datagrid.
I use DataSource property to bind to the DataSet

Thanks Nicholas for the answer. Is it valid for Windows Datagrid?
