how to apply particular FORMAT of date by using eval?

Question

I have used following code :

 <asp:HyperLink ID="Time" runat="server"  Text='<%#Eval("CREATED_ON")%>'> </asp:HyperLink>

It will display the date in the format: 11/4/2010 10:52:33 AM

But I want it to display 11/4/2010. How would I do this?

Answer 1

You should be able to use something like this:

<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkCreatedDate" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("CREATED_ON", "{0:dd/M/yyyy}")%>'> </asp:HyperLink>

Answer 2

You can try this -

<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkCreatedDate1" runat="server" Text='<%# DateTime.Parse(Eval("CREATED_ON").ToString()).ToString("d") %>'> </asp:HyperLink>
