In datagrid, how do you format a date?

How do I set up date formating for a column in a DataGrid Web Control?

I have one column in an ASP.Net data grid that contains a date. It is
showing date and time, which I don't want. I only want the date. I
set up the grid using the walkthrough that uses the dataadapter, and
dataconnection from the toolbox and then genertates the data set using
the wizard, so I don't have much code that I can alter.

This should do the trick:

DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}"
