how to apply particular FORMAT of date by using eval?

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?

Method 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>

Method 2

You can try this –

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

Method 3

this should do the trick:

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

Method 4

I suppose you have a DateTime variable named MyDate:

DateTime MyDate;

If you want juste the date part:

MyDate.Value.ToString("d");

With the day:

MyDate.Value.ToString("D");

Method 5

You Can try THis Also

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

Method 6

1. I Was Face Problem When Date Is NULL.
2. It Will Help Me When CREATED_ON Date Is Null.
3. Use This Code When You Are Not Sure That Your Date Is NULL OR NOT.

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