Datagridview日期到标签格式问题

Question

I am almost embarrassed to ask this. I would like to take a date from my DataGridView named salesOrdersDataGridView and write it to a label on a Form . I format the date to short date in my sql query and it displays correctly in the DataGridView . Trouble is, when I use this code:

string shp= "";
shp = salesOrdersDataGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["shipDate"].Value.ToString();
lblshp.Text = shp;

The label displays the long date/time (with hours and minutes). I know there is a simple solution - but I am just not getting it. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

DateTime shp = DateTime.Parse(salesOrdersDataGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["shipDate"].Value.ToString());

lblshp.Text = shp.ToString("dd MMM yyyy");

Parse your value as a datetime first and use the toString method to format it
