how to get a short-date with gridview?

[Dan]

Hi,

I defined a gridview which must fetch a date field in Access. In the table,
the date are e.g. 05/06/2006, but the gridview gives 05/06/2006 0:00:00.

I couldn't find the property to get the short date.

Thanks
Dan

Set the DataFormatString to the format you want, eg mine is
set to {0:d}

Then switch off HTMLEncode on that column.

Thanks.
Is it possible to do that in the code-behind page (directly in vb.net )?
