Date format without time in ASP.NET Gridview

Question

in ASP.NET gridview binding two dates. I want to display dd/MM/yyyy but it displays 10/03/2014 00:00:00.

Answer 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}") %>' />

Answer 2

Blockquote

Eval("Date","{0:dd-MM-yyyy}") %>' />

Answer 3

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**).

Answer 4

DataFormatString is a property of BoundField control and doesn't affect any other control. You can specify the format right in the Eval expression:

Text='<%# Eval("Fromdate", "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}") %>' />

Answer 5

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Fromdate">    
     <ItemTemplate>    
           <asp:Label ID="lblFromdate" runat="server"
                 Text='<%#Eval("Fromdate", "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}") %>'></asp:Label>
      </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Answer 6

I achieved it with {0:dd/MM/yyyy} on the DataFormatString property of the field

It works well
