Formview Question about Dates and Formatting

[David Hearn]

I have a formview control in my project (VS2005/ASP.NET 2.0) and I have one
field that is a date. I have it formatting correctly as a short date
(MM/dd/yyyy) but when I click the edit link to edit the record, it is
showing the long date/time format. How do I force the thing to only show
short date format while in edit mode also?

Thanks in advance!

You might want to format the date in the EditTemplate as well if you are
using Bind it should be <%#Bind("PropertyName","{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")%> or with
Eval <%#Eval("PropertyName","{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")%>
