GridView DataFormatString not formatting

[AcaBrian]

Formatting of column values was working fine with Beta 2 but is not working
with the final release. What changed? eg. {0:c} or {0:d} not working

For anyone else looking for the answer to this, set the value of the
HtmlEncode attribute of the BoundField control to false, as in:

<asp:BoundField DataField="StartDate" DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}"
HtmlEncode="false"/>

Apparently the value is HTML-encoded before the DataFormatString is
applied, which means the format string won't work.
