Changing DateTime format of a gridview column

31-Jul-08 0:12

Why would you use a grid view, and do your own paging, when it is built in ? Why not use something simple like a repeater, that gives you full control over the layout, if you want to take over the paging ?

In any case, what you basically need to render this, is to know what the current page number is, and how many pages there are. Then you need to create links for the numbers that either postback a value, or put it on the URL, so you know what page to navigate to. I'd write a proc that gives me the current page and the number of pages, so you can just ask for the data you want to display and plug the other info into your pager.

By not using auto generated columns, so you can specify a format string

Does it means that I need to manually create custom columns for all columns within the DataSet's table?

thanks again for your help

if you are assigning it data from database then when you are binding you can change the format like this. DateTime.ToString("dd MMM, yyyy HH:mm:ss");

I think you will need to create a web service which will run at a specific time.

thanks for this solution but any other alternate solutions ... plz

i was thinking about to use thread that keep running and checking is that a good idea??

.netman is right. ASP.NET is designed on the principle that pages are created to run once on the server, for a postback. You can't spawn a thread from your page, the page dies on the server side when it is returned to the client.

You may be able to start a thread from there, but you would still need to put the details of the emails you need to send, etc, in a database, and have code that ran on a timer to regularly check if any thing needed doing. It makes more sense to do this in a service, and have the service and the website share access to the data store IMO.

If you just write a thread that handles the emails by keeping them in memory, you will lose that info if the server restarts, and you will need to handle cross thread communication, which would be a lot more challenging than writing a service.

You have to make a module as a scheduler which will run on the server. You can check it on the server.

Scheduler is a module on your hosting server. It runs the module( in your case mail sending) automatically as per you logic.

If i am not wrong Marathi is a language, and you want to develop a website in that language. For that i will suggest you to use localization. I will not recommend to save all the data in database.

Buy a book on ASP.NET. Try to ask sensible questions. I have no idea what marathi is, either. If it's a language, then I don't see what a DB has to do with it. If you mean how to store data in general, go to step one. Buy a book and understand SOMETHING about ASP.NET before hoping to benefit from asking stuff here.
