Hi,
I have problem in sending Formatted Date as Datetimedatatype as result set from DB to Front end.
i.e, i Converted the Getdate() as yyyy/mm/dd format as below.
select convert(varchar,getdate(),111)
The above date is converted to varchar and send it as varchar datatype to front end.
But i need to send it as datetime datatype with same style, the style should not change.
Is it possible to send it as datetime datatype...

Thanks
Ganesh



Solutions are easy. Understanding the problem, now, that's the hard part

just don't convert it and perform the required formatting in your front end.

In front end they are binding in list view, so List view takes the datatype automatically which the result set has.

So if you don't convert your datetime to string it will remain as datetime data type. Isn't this what you wanted ?
