How do i display a date field using databind.eval ?

There's a 3rd parameters to eval which is the format, so normally you have:

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DateField")
but you can do:
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DateField", "someFormat")

try:

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DateField", "{0:d}")

and check out:

d is for decimal. There is no format for date in this parameter. You can do
it in code behind in ItemDataBound or PreRender event. Alternatively you can
provide a page property in code behind that will do the formatting and
databind to this property.
