You can use BoundField.DataFormatString Property[^] to specify the display format for the value of the field.

XML

<asp:boundfield datafield="CreationDate" headertext="CreationDate" sortexpression="CreationDate" dataformatstring="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"  />

Solution 1

Try this:

ASP.NET

<asp:boundfield datafield="Your_Date_Column" dataformatstring="{0:d}" htmlencode="false" />

For other formats look into below link:
