How to use the template column in The gridview Date Format

In Asp.net 2.0, if you want to display data in the binding column, such as the date format, the following method cannot be used. <Asp: boundfield datafield = "creationdate" Dataformatstring = "{0: M-dd-yyyy }" Headertext = "creationdate"/> The main reason is that the htmlencode attribute is set to true by default, which has prevented XSS attacks and is used for security reasons. Therefore, there are two solutions: 1, <Asp: gridview id = "gridview1" runat = "server"> <Columns> <Asp: boundfield datafield = "creationdate" Dataformatstring = "{0: M-dd-yyyy }" Htmlencode = "false" Headertext = "creationdate"/> </Columns> </Asp> Set htmlencode to false. Another solution is to use the template Column <Asp: gridview id = "gridview3" runat = "server"> <Columns> <Asp: templatefield headertext = "creationdate"> <Edititemtemplate> <Asp: Label id = "label1" runat = "server" TEXT = '<% # eval ("creationdate", "{0: M-dd-yyyy}") %>'> </Asp> </Edititemtemplate> <Itemtemplate> <Asp: Label id = "label1" runat = "server" TEXT = '<% # BIND ("creationdate", "{0: M-dd-yyyy}") %>'> </Asp> </Itemtemplate> </Asp> </Columns> </Asp>
