i tryed it the way you suggested with small letters:
DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"

it still doesnot work.

my full code line is:

 Help with Code Tags 
 asp Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<asp:BoundField DataField="date" DataFormatString="{:dd/MM/yyyy}"  HeaderText="date" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="date" DataFormatString="{:dd/MM/yyyy}"  HeaderText="date" />

The problem is the by default, the HtmlEncode property of the boundfield attribute is set to True. This helps prevent cross-site scripting attacks and malicious content from being displayed. Microsoft recommends that the HtmlEncode attribute be enabled whenever possible.

The problem is that if this field is enabled, you can not pass format information to the boundfield control. To solve this issue simply set HtmlEncode to false

Try this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 asp Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<asp:BoundField DataField="date" DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" HtmlEncode="false"  HeaderText="date" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="date" DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" HtmlEncode="false"  HeaderText="date" />
