The MySQL database has a date field in this format:
yyyy-mm-dd (2009-12-01)
When this field is pulled into a Gridview the format changes to:
yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm (2009-12-01 12:00)
How do I get the gridview not to change the default database format?
(most solutions that I have found recommend setting the value in asp:boundfield but this requires the potentially risky HtmlEncode=false)
I don’t think that it would be risky to set HtmlEncode = false on date/time field. It’s unlikely that any sql injection attack could inject potentially harmful script into a datetime value.
It sounds like the solutions you’ve found probably refer to setting the DataFormatString and setting HtmlEncode = false. I would go with one of the solutions you’ve already found.
