Leading zeros

[song2siren]

Hello

I just need to be able to remove leading zeros from the date in this literal:

<asp:Literal id="lit_Date1" runat="server" text='<%# String.Format("{0}",Container.DataItem("conf_date")) %>' />

So, 02 March 2005 should display as 2 March 2005. Is there a simple way to do this without writing a subroutine?

Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated.

You could try using the DateTime Format string something like this.

<asp:Literal id="lit_Date1" runat="server" text='<%# Container.DataItem("conf_date").ToString("d MMMM yyyy") %>' />
You may have to cast the DataItem as DateTime first if it is a string.
