hi,

you can do like this,

C#

DateTime inputDate = default(DateTime);
DateTime.TryParse("5/30/2012 12:00:00 AM", out inputDate);
return inputDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

Instead of TryParse, you can also use Parse, TryParseExact. hope this will solve your purpose.

thanks
-Amit

Check THis[^]

you can try this also

C#

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Departure Date">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DepartDate",
"{0:dd-mm-yyyy}") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

If you're using a BoundField, simply do as follows:

ASP.NET

<asp:boundfield datafield="Your_Date_Column" dataformatstring="{0:MMMM d, yyyy}" htmlencode="false" xmlns:asp="#unknown" />

Just make sure you set the HtmlEncode attribute to False or it won't work.

Hi Arunprasath ,

set DataFormatString Property of the column that is bound to date as below sample code for a grid:

XML

<asp:gridview id="gvParent" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
<columns> 
<asp:boundfield datafield="Leave_From_Date" headertext="Date From">DataFormatString = "{0:dd-MM-yyyy}" />  
</asp:boundfield></columns>
</asp:gridview>

this will do the trick.

Happy Coding :)
