title: C# Format String as Date
body: <p>I have a DetailsView with a TextBox bound to a DateTime column. The value of the column is presented in the format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss". I need it to be displayed in the format "yyyy/mm/dd". I had though that the best way may be to format the string in the DataBound event. Problem is, I can't seem to find a way to format the string as a date. The String.Format won't do it. If I had the string as a DateTime then I could use the DateTime.Format method. I could create a datetime variable by parsing the various elements of the string but I can't help but think there must be an easier way?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
