Format Dates using Repeater Control

[charliewest]

Hello -

I am pulling a datetime var from a dataset which is binded to a repeater
control as follows:

<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "DateCreate d") %>

The datetime value returns fine, but is not formated. How can i format this
"inline code"? I am aware that this can be done using code-behind,
specifically using the ItemDataBound event, but i'd like to learn how i can
format dates, if possible, right in the above linem using the DataBinder
method.

Thanks,

Try this:

<%# System.Convert. ToDateTime (DataBinder.Eva l(Container.Dat aItem,
"DateCreate d")) .ToString ("MM-dd-yyyy") %>
