DateTime Format Help

Hello

I'm having trouble with formating a date using late binding and SqlServer.

I've been using:

Code:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "registerDate","dd/MM/yyyy") %>

So that it only displays the date w/o the time, but I only get this:
dd/MM/yyyy

instead of this:
25/03/2004

Any help is greatly appreciated

For me, I would like as below:

Format(theDateYouWant, "dd/MM/yyyy")

thanks, it worked:

Code:

<%# Format(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "registerDate"),"dd/MM/yyyy") %>

Found how to do it in the dataBinder:

Code:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "registerDate","{0:d}") %>
