How to fix date format in ASP .NET BoundField (DataFormatString)?

Question

I have a dynamic BoundField (for a DetailsView) with the following code:

BoundField bf1 = new BoundField();
bf1.DataField = \"CreateDate\";
bf1.DataFormatStr         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem, only need to show shortdate (without the time), moreover it was needed to have multi-language settings, so depends of the language, show dd-mm-yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy.

Finally using DataFormatString="{0:d}, all works fine and show only the date with culture format.
