Date Format

[Guest]

I am displaying a date field (not a datetime field) in a repeater. For some
reason it is automatically inserting a default time (12:00:00AM) along with
the date. I don't want to display this time. I've checked my database and
it's not coming from there. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to get
the time out of there. Thanks. FYI...

DateTime and Date are essentially the same. Use the ToString method, with
the string format "d" to get a short DateTime format (mm/dd/yyyy).

The easiest way to cut it out is to use String.Format to customize the format
of the output. A short date is {0:d}.

string justTheDate = String.Format("{0:d}", DateTime.Now);

Would return "7/3/2007".

Note, as above, this is culture dependent...
