    Change date format in a datagridview

    Hi people,

    im importing a date column from a mysql database to a datagridview but it automatically changes the date format from 'YYYY-MM-DD' (Mysql format) to 'MM/DD/YYYY'

    since the user has to type in the date in mysql format to update or insert new records, I want to force the datagridview to display the date column in mysql format for consistency.

    Heres my code for that:

    dataGridView1.D ataSource = loadData();

    private DataTable loadData()
    {
    string connectString =
    "datasource=loc alhost;username =admin;password =student;databa se=hospital";
    string selectStatmnt =
    "SELECT NurseID, Firstname, Surname, Qualification, WorkType, DOB FROM nurses";

    mySqlDataAd = new MySqlDataAdapte r(selectStatmnt , connectString);



    nursesTable = new DataTable();
    mySqlDataAd.Fil lSchema(nursesT able, SchemaType.Sour ce);
    mySqlDataAd.Fil l(nursesTable);

    return nursesTable;
    }

    Any help would be appreciated
