I can't see this question answered elsewhere, but apologies if it is.

I have a database with a date field. This formats correctly in view, edit and list views, e.g. "2012-04-06". However in DataGrid view, it shows as "Fri Apr 6, 2012 00:00:00 (and more)". How can I change the format to just show the date please?

Many thanks for any help.

I have fixed this in SVN. rev. 3561

Many thanks Steve. What's the chance of being able to allow different date formats. Being a Brit, I prefer dd-mmm-yy? I can work with YYYY-MM-DD for now if it's not a quick fix - or if you point me to what needs to change.

Thanks again

Neil

You can specify the format in the fields.ini file using the DataGrid.format directive.

e.g.

Code: Select all

[myfield]
DataGrid.format="d/m/Y"

That's great.

Many thanks
