How to make a date column in a gridview not show timestamp when edited

Question

I have searched and searched and have not found a clear answer for this issue:

When I set a column as a date column in a GridView and go into the grid and edit a date, it by default leaves a generic TimeStamp after the date like this (09/12/2017 00:00:00).

How do I remove the TimeStamp?

Does this work? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4033113/how-to-format-datetime-columns-in-datagridview — Sam Marion, Sep 12 '17 at 15:11

Make sure you have formatting string like this ({0:d}) and have set apply format in edit mode true like this (ApplyFormatInEditMode="true").

And implement to BoundField like this:

<asp:BoundField DataField="DataDate" ApplyFormatInEditMode="true" DataFormatString="{0:d}" 
     SortExpression="DataDate" HeaderText="Header Date" />
