Answer 1

You need to enclose the datetime value into #. You also have to say what column you want to compare with this value.

For example:

dv1.RowFilter = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.DateTimeFormat,
                "Date = #{0}#", start);

(where Date is the actual name of your datetime-column)

• DataView.RowFilter Property
• Using the InvariantCulture Property
