GridView DateField and Update

[bob]

Hi,
I have a bound date field in a gridview that throws " Cannot convert
value of parameter 'JobStartDate' from 'System.String' to
'System.DateTime'"
when I press the update button.

I am using bound data fields and the standard Edit button in a commad
column.

I am not modifying the date. I am updating other fields.

I.e. The gridview loads, I press edit, the text boxes appear (the date
fields are editable).
I alter another field and press update.

I have had a look for formatting issues and set htmlencoding to false
on the date fields but this hasn't helped.

Would appreciate any clues for remeding this.

Thanks
Bob

Solved.
Needed to Format string and set use format in Editing mode on.
