Date is pulled from a VFP table and is magically converted to DateTime format when pulled into a .Net dataset. Im trying to display the date in MM/DD/YY format in a grid column using the columns collection editor under the datagrid properties by entering into the format field various function calls such as mdate.tshortdatestring() and pic statements such as mm/dd/yy, m/d/y, etc... Everything I enter is displayed in the grid column literally. Ive tried enclosing in quotes, brackets and such. This must be something easy but couldnt find any samples.

Best regards,

Todd
