Formatting time on a BoundColumn of a DataGrid - just time 1

[TeaAddictedGeek]

I'm trying to get just the time value from a BoundColumn in a DataGrid. Usually the expressions are like this:

DataFormatString="{0:d}"

Which would get me the short date. But what if I just want the time part of the DateTime? As in, hours and minutes?


Thanks!

Never mind, just figured it out. Here it is for the curious:

DataFormatString="{0:HH:mm}"

Try "{0:HH:mm:ss}"

I just need hours and minutes, not seconds. But I'll keep that info handy. Thanks!

Just drop the ":ss" from my example then. The original method you used is a shorthand version of referring to server specific settings. You can use the method I described to write out any format you need.
