When I import the Excel file in ASP.NET, the data suddenly becomes like this in the gridview

12/31/200 12:00:00 AM

I can not add bound filed because I am loading data at run time my data loading code is:

C#

Filename1 = FileUpload1.FileName.ToString();
       FileUpload1.SaveAs(MapPath("~/Temp/"+Filename1));
       if (File.Exists(MapPath("~/Temp/"+Filename1)))
       {
           string[] Arr = null;
           Arr = Filename1.Split('.');
           if (Arr.Length > 0)
           {
               if (Arr[Arr.Length - 1] == "xls")
                   sConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + (MapPath("~/Temp/"+Filename1)).ToString() + ";Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1'";
           }
           if (Arr[Arr.Length - 1] == "xlsx")
           {
               sConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + (MapPath("~/Temp/"+Filename1)).ToString() + ";Extended Properties='Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES';";
               //MessageBox.Show("excute constring");
           }
           if (Arr[Arr.Length - 1] == "xlsm")
           {
               sConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + (MapPath("~/Temp/"+Filename1)).ToString() + ";Extended Properties='Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES';";
               //MessageBox.Show("mecro constring");
           }
       }
       findsheetname1();
       FillGrid1();

Solution 1

when you select data, you can format datetime:
Is there a way to force Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB to get date Columns in MM/DD/YYYY format from Excel?[^]

Hi Friend I have solved this using that code

string date = "";
DateTime newdate,d1;

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
for (int i = 1; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++)
{
//BoundField field = (BoundField)((DataControlFieldCell)e.Row.Cells[i]).ContainingField;
date = e.Row.Cells[i].Text.ToString();
if(date.Length>7)
{
if (DateTime.TryParse(date, out newdate))
{
//DateTime.TryParseExact(date, "mm/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out newdate);
d1 = newdate.Date;//DateTime.ParseExact(date, "MM/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

e.Row.Cells[i].Text = d1.Date.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");//newdate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
}
}

}

}
