Solution 2

Assuming the DATELOAN property returns a valid datetime value, this is what you can do -
Try Convert.ToDateTime(ds.Tables["Loans"].Rows[0]["DATELOAN"]).ToString("dd MMM yyyy");

This should help you explore other formats - Custom Date and Time Format Strings[^].

Get the Convert out of there; just cast it.

Abhinav S 3-Sep-14 1:59am

Cast can bad if the value is null.

PIEBALDconsult 3-Sep-14 9:32am

And the code you show will handle DBNull.Value properly?

Abhinav S 3-Sep-14 12:53pm

Nope. It will handle System.Null.

Which it is unlikely to encounter in a DataTable/Row/Cell.

I agree with your solution. You have 5 from me!

Solution 3

Hi, try this

var dt = ds.Tables["Loans"].Rows[0]["DATELOAN"];

txt_Date_Of_Loan.Text = String.Format("{0:dd, MMMM, yyyy}", dt);
