Date format without time in ASP.NET Gridview
in ASP.NET gridview binding two dates. I want to display dd/MM/yyyy
but it displays 10/03/2014 00:00:00
.
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText ="Fromdate" >
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label ID="lblFromDate" runat="server"
DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"
HtmlEncode="false"
Text='<%# Eval("Fromdate") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Solution 1:
DataFormatString
is a property of BoundField
control and doesn't affect any other control. You can specify the format in an Eval
expression:
Text='<%# Eval("Fromdate", "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}") %>' />
Solution 2:
According to this article on MSDN the DataFormatString attribute has a limited number of variants for DateTime data.
What you are looking for is:
DataFormatString="{0:d}"
which is the short date pattern
.
In order to get the dd/MM/yyyy
format, you need to also set your culture info properly (for example to **en-GB**
).
