DateTime Display Problem

[brightline]

I am adding rows to a runtime table as following"
dtRecords.Rows.Add("RecordingDate", typeof(DateTime));
the date is stored as long datetime but I want to view the date date only in thos runtime table:
the date appears as following: 0206/2008 12:00:00 am
but I want it to appear as following:0206/2008
i.e,the date with out the time.
does any one has an idea?

thnx in advance

what type of object is that dtRecords.is it DataTable class's object.then finally u will bind this datatable to gridview or datalist control isn't it.thre u can specify the date format.
set DataFormatString property if it is a boundfield
if it is itemtemplate then give format string as second argument to Eval menthod.
hope this will help...let me wait for ur responce...

thnx for ur reply,

dtRecords is a table that I created in runtime and the grid view columns is not specified in the design so I want to specify the datetime format through this.line:
dtRecords.Rows.Add("RecordingDate", typeof(DateTime));
is there any modification to this line to change the datetime format to show date only.
do you understand me.

thnx in advance.

dtRecords.Rows.Add("RecordingDate", DateTime.Now); // Current Date
dtRecords.Rows.Add("RecordingDate", DateTime.Parse("12/31/2002"));

DataFormatString should be {0:dd/MMM/yyyy}

You can add rows to a DataTable using the following syntax

DataTable.Rows.Add(DataRow) ;
DataTable.Rows.Add(Object[] ) ;

But you are passing two arguments. Are you passing column name in you code ('RecordingDate').

How is it possible?

Yes, It's called param array arguments.
