BEGIN
SELECT
DDT.FieldType AS field,
DDT.OldValue as old,
DDT.NewValue as new,
AU.FullName AS Name,

AU.FullName AS Name,
DD.UpdatedOn AS UpdatedOn

WHERE

END
UpdatedOn column is of datatype datetime and it shows to my HTML table like 10-09-1992/12.00.... But I want to show just date like 10-09-1992, what should I do?
Here Is my HTML table
public string LoadDealHistory(DealHistory aDealhistory)
{
StringBuilder html = new StringBuilder();
try {
using (DealTranctionGateway dealTranctionGateway = new DealTranctionGateway())
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt = dealTranctionGateway.LoadDealHistory(aDealhistory);
string dealHistory = "";
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
html.Append("<table class='table table-bordered'>");
html.Append("<thead>");
html.Append("<tr>");
html.Append("<th>S.No</th>");
html.Append("<th>FieldType</th>");
html.Append("<th>OldValue</th>");
html.Append("<th>NewValue</th>");
html.Append("<th>Full Name</th>");
html.Append("<th>UpdateOn</th>");
html.Append("</thead>");
html.Append("</tr>");
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i = i + 1)
{
int sNo = i + 1;
html.Append("<tr>");
html.Append("<td>" + sNo + "</td>");
html.Append("<td>" + dt.Rows[i]["field"] + "</td>");
html.Append("<td>" + dt.Rows[i]["old"] + "</td>");
html.Append("<td>" + dt.Rows[i]["new"] + "</td>");
html.Append("<td>" + dt.Rows[i]["Name"] + "</td>");
html.Append("<td>" + dt.Rows[i]["UpdatedOn"] + "</td>");
html.Append("</tr>");
}
html.Append("</tbody>");
html.Append("</table>");
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
return html.ToString();
}
}

Answer 1

Updated:
Tried this:
string updateOn = "";
updateOn = ((DateTime)dt.Rows[i]["UpdatedOn"]).ToString("dd-MM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
html.Append("<td>" + updateOn + "</td>");
OR
You can use format DateTime in SQL:
More format at here.
In your case, it should be using style 105.
SELECT replace(convert(NVARCHAR, UpdatedOn, 105), ' ', '-')

Answer 2

You can convert it to string like:
dt.Rows[i]["UpdatedOn"].ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")
No need for any changes on SQL Server side, date formatting is a front-end problem.

Answer 3

Select convert(date,getdate())
