Changing DateTime format of a gridview column

[johland]

Hi I have a GridView that initializes when page is load,its data source is a DataSet. One of the columns is in a DateTime type, how can i change its type or alternately its DateTime format. Thanks in advance, Yohay

By not using auto generated columns, so you can specify a format string

if you are assigning it data from database then when you are binding you can change the format like this. DateTime.ToString("dd MMM, yyyy HH:mm:ss");

Does it means that I need to manually create custom columns for all columns within the DataSet's table? thanks again for your help yohay
