how to custom format datetime using eval.
Hi,

as the subjects says, how can I custom format (MMMM dd, yyyy) the datetime in blogpost using eval in cms_transformation.

I used <%# Eval("BlogPostDate", "BlogPostDate", "{0:dd MMMM yyyy}") %> but no luck.

I also used <%# Convert.ToDateTime(Eval("BlogPostDate").ToString("MMMM dd, yyyy") %> but still no luck.

I used <%# Convert.ToDateTime(Eval("BlogPostDate").ToString("d") %> and it worked! but not my preferred format. :(

Thanks,

JP

Hello,

You can use the following function and format your date as per your needs:

<%# GetDateTime("BlogPostDate", "MMMM dd, yyyy") %>
