GredView {0:d} formatting doesn't work

I just don't understand what is wrong.
I have simple query. One of the returning fields is data

I created bound column for GridView (ASP.NET 2.0) and specified
DataFormatString
as {0:d} - it returns me the row date with hours.
I tried something like this {0 :dd/MM/yyyy} the same results.
It looks like that system doesn't recognize that the field is date. Why not?
What can be done?
Thank you,
Shimon

Hi Shimon,

As for the GridView DataField's DataFormatString not working problem, I
think it is because the new "HtmlEncode" setting provided for the
DataField. This property is set to "true" by default, thus the bound data
on that column will be htmlencoded before render out to response stream...
And set Htmlencode to true will prevent the DataFormatString from
working. So I think you can try disabling the "HtmlEncode" on that
DataField so as to make DataFormatString take effect, e.g:

<asp:BoundField DataField="OrderDate" HeaderText="OrderDate"
SortExpression="OrderDate" DataFormatString="{0:yy/mm/dd}"
HtmlEncode="false"/>

Hope helps. Thanks,

note sure if this is by design of if it is a bug, but turn of HTML Encoding.
Your data will format.
