Glenn,

>I have set the displayformat property to MM/dd/yyyy and rather than the bound value appearing in the web browser, the MM/dd/yyyy appears. If I remove the displayformat string the correct datetime value appears in all its verbose glory. Ok, I give up what did I do wrong?

The Web Forms <>mmTextBox and mmLabel classes both have a DisplayFormat property which allows you to format display values on web pages.

The DisplayFormat property uses String.Format() expressions to format the display value (similar to what you use when formatting columns in a Web DataGrid). So, for example, to format the date to MM/dd/yyyy you set the property to:

{0:d}

For more information on formatting strings check out these topics:

Standard DateTime Format Strings Output Examples

Standard Numeric Format Strings Output Examples

I will add this information to the next version of the MM .NET Dev Guide.

Regards,
