Formatting Values in DataGrid Control

[Guest]

If I have a DateTime column in my DataGrid conrol, and it's bound to an
OleDbDataReader, how can I format the returned data the way I want it
formatted and displayed in that column?

You can use the ItemDataBound event
and set e.Item.Cells[ColumnNumber].Text to the format you want.

Set your DataFormatString for the date column to {0:d} -- that's a zero
not an O.
