Question

I have a field of type DateTime which is bound in gridview.
Now, i would liketo display only date from this field, and not time.
Date Should be in 1/1/0001 this format.
I am using DotnetNuke

My code is as follows

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Created On">
    <itemtemplate>
        <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Alb_Created_Date","0:dd/MM/yyyy}")%>
    </itemtemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>`.

I have tried the format that is used but its output is like this 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM.

What shall I do?

Answer 1

You are missing an opening angular brace {. Try this.

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Created On">
    <itemtemplate>
        <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Alb_Created_Date", "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")%>
    </itemtemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
