You can make the formatting at client side or you can embed it to the SQL statement. For example current datetime to date would be:

SQL

SELECT CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)

where can i do this statment ??

You currently have somekind of SQL statement fetching the datetime fields. Something like:
SELECT MyDatetimeField, ... FROM ...
so you should change it to
SELECT CAST(MyDatetimeField AS DATE), ... FROM ...

If you look at this page[^] on MSDN and examinr the code, you will find this:

XML

<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Price/Unit"
   DataField="UnitPrice" SortExpression="UnitPrice"
   DataFormatString="{0:c}">

that code formats the data for the 'Unit Price' column.

Unsurprisingly you can do a similar thing for Dates as well as for Currency.
On this page[^] you will find the various Format Characters and the second table lists those for date values. The first one is the one you would need.
