the second ans
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
dataGridView1.Columns("time7").DefaultCellStyle.Format =
"dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt";
it is showing the error at column
Non-invocable member 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.Columns' cannot be used like a method

Try this
dataGridView1.DataSource = ds;
dataGridView1.Columns["your Column Index"].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss";
dataGridView1.DataBind();

sir i am using c sharp what code you are providing?
two errors are there
The name 'ds' does not exist in the current context
'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView' does not contain a definition for 'DataBind' and no extension method 'DataBind' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Ds is your datasource. Change it to point to your data-source variable.
You can get rid of the dataGridView1.DataBind() line as this is a winform. did not notice that.

i dont know about datasource variable what is that?

__TR__ 18-Dec-12 4:27am

How are you getting data into the data girdview ? through dataset, datatable. that will be the datasource.

sariqkhan 18-Dec-12 4:50am

dataGridView1.DataSource = database1DataSet11;
dataGridView1.Columns[4].DefaultCellStyle.Format = "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss";
i have added this but not working

__TR__ 18-Dec-12 5:37am

What's the error message?

sariqkhan 18-Dec-12 5:45am

i got you solution but the problem is it only shows that format it i want to edit the column then i cant do, have you tried that?

__TR__ 18-Dec-12 5:57am

No. I would suggest you post a new question with whatever you have done so far and the problem you are facing in edit mode.
