DATE FORMATTING PROBLEM IN 2012 RDLC REPORTS

Hi
I have always managed date formatting fine in V.S. 2010 by putting the formatting into the Format property of the relevant Textbox - e.g. dd MMM yyyy hh:mm

Worked like a charm in all my projects.

Now with 2012 it's not working anymore. It takes my change and saves it - but when I run the report it's steadfastly stuck on the format 2012/12/12 10:35:00 AM

It's either a bug or else there's now a separate property that must be set to make it take the custom setting into account.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Hi
Never mind, I found the fault. I passed the date as a string instead of DateTime from the database.

Regards
