August CTP DataFormatString in Gridview not working

[Gerhard Pretorius]

Since installing the VS.NET August CTP the DataFormatString of the
BoundField in the Gridview does not work. Runtime v2.0.50727.

<asp:BoundField DataField="Event_Date" DataFormatString="{0:yyyy/MM/dd}"

It still shows the date as "2005/05/03 12:45 AM"

It worked in beta 2, don't knwo about July CTP, but August CTP is a problem

v2.0.50727

Anybody else know about this please... am I missing something...

Thks

This was confirmed by another machine where we installed August CTP..
Anyone from Microsoft to confirm this? Please...

This also does not work in ASP.NET 2.0 August CTP in a GridView
DataFormatString="{0:#.#}"

Please, someone from Microsoft, can you confirm this?

Thanks

I don't know if you have found the answer already, but it is by design
that the DataFormatString doesn't work with HtmlEncode=true (default).
So change HtmlEncode to False and it will work. See also
