Hi All
I am just simply selecting
Select FirstName,DOB from tableName
to be shown in grid
query in TOAD gives result for DOB as 22/12/1985
which is correct
but in dataset even before binding to grid

22/12/1985 12:00:00 AM

that is time itself gets concatenated

XML

<itemtemplate>
                                                   <asp:TextBox ID="txtPDOB" runat="server" Width="94%" Enabled="false" Text='<%# Bind("DOB") %>' />
                                               </itemtemplate>

I am only interested in Date Please suggest

In Oracle Date always contains time portion. The best is to format it in the user interface to proper format.

But if you have to, you can convert it to character, something like:

SQL

SELECT TO_CHAR(MyField, 'dd/mm/yyyy') ...

But as said if possible, let the data be in date format and use UI formatting
