Question

I populate a textbox with date from a datepicker with Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();,
after which I store in an Oracle database with a query shown below

string query3 = "insert into leave_module1 values(:srno,:name,:desig,:tol,:compdates,:fd,:td,:nod,:da,:ds,st.nextval)";
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(query3, con);
try
{
    cmd.Parameters.Add(":srno", OracleType.Number, 8).Value = DropDownList2.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(":name", OracleType.VarChar, 50).Value = TextBox8.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(":desig", OracleType.VarChar, 30).Value = TextBox10.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(":tol", OracleType.VarChar, 10).Value = DropDownList1.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(":compdates", OracleType.VarChar, 30).Value = TextBox9.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(":fd", OracleType.DateTime).Value = TextBox3.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(":td", OracleType.DateTime).Value = TextBox4.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(":nod", OracleType.Number, 3).Value = TextBox5.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(":da", OracleType.DateTime).Value = TextBox11.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.Add(":ds", OracleType.DateTime).Value = TextBox7.Text;
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType(), "validation", "<script language='javascript'>alert('The Data has been added');window.location='Default2.aspx';</script>;");
}
catch
{
    Label13.Visible = true;
}

But when I populate a GridView in another page with the stored dates, I get a timestamp even though I did not input one. Please tell me how to remove the timestamp from the display!

Thanks in advance

This is how I populate the gridview

protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string v = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["harish"].ConnectionString;
    con = new OracleConnection(v);
    con.Open();
    cmd = new OracleCommand("select *  from leave_module1 where srno='"+DropDownList1.Text+"'", con);
    dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();

    GridView1.DataSource = dr;
    GridView1.DataBind();
    con.Close();
    dr.Close();
}

Answer 1

So you are querying all the columns from the database and then auto-generating the columns. This is why all the columns are displayed. To resolve this

1. adjust the query to only return the columns that are actually required
2. disable auto-generate columns and define the columns yourself.

rarely do you want to use auto-generated anything, as you loose call control to customize the behavior and output.
