Now also date is showing.I don't know what is the problem.

I'll copy that code completely

ConsumptionGrid.DataSource = Utilities._dbManager.GetConsumptionlist(PageIndex,
Const.NumberOfItemsPerPage,
_consumer.MeterNumber,
DateTime.Parse(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString()));
ConsumptionGrid.DataBind();

dont parse it into datetime, you are converting the time string again into a variable which contain date. use the following

ConsumptionGrid.DataSource = Utilities._dbManager.GetConsumptionlist(PageIndex,
Const.NumberOfItemsPerPage,
_consumer.MeterNumber,
DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString());

Hi,
I parsed it because it is showing Error:Argument type 'string' is not assignable to parameter type 'System.DateTime'
