  Date Formatting

  Aug 11, 2003 12:09 AM|LINK

  I'm having trouble formatting this string into a reader friendly date. 2003-08-10T230157Z I'm displaying it in a data grid. Usually I would use DataFormatString="{0:d}" attribute of the datagrid, but this doesn't work. I would like it displayed like this: 8/10/2003 6:01:57 PM Help appreciated, Dan

  System.DateTime.Now() or System.DateTime.Now.ToString("G")

  That will give me the presenet datetime, I need to format the date that I retrieve from the database that is stored as a string because that's the way I get it from my source. Dan

  Try Convert.ToDateTime("10-08-03 16:22") it should return as you needed.
