DataGridView

[Jasper Kent]

I'm trying to format a DateTime bound column with the new DataGridView in
VS2005.

I set the DataFormatString to "{0:d}" (which should give me the date only)
and I get the general format (including time). None of the possible
formatting options seems to make a difference.

Formatting a numeric column seems to work fine.

Any ideas?

In BETA 2 of Visual studio that worked, I don't understand while at release
someone changed it. Anyway, you have to set the htmlEncode of the bound
column to false:

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

Hope this helps
