  Hello,
  
  It should be nicer and easier for visitors to understand if date and time format (selection of 12 or 24 with no seconds) would be displayed below news title or at least at the same row with different font size.

  I did the following change in newslist.ascx with the following and it worked.
  
          <!--<p class="newsdate"><%'# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Publication_Date") %></p>-->
          <p class="newsdate"><%#Eval("Publication_Date", "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")%></p>    
  
  But it should be a general option in the project for date and time format.
  
  Best regards

  Hi Vagelis,
  
  Thank you very much for your suggestion. We will definitely consider implementing more felexible ways to set date and time formats.
  
  Kind regards,

  Great tip Vangelis - your workaround works perfectly on the ListPageMaster.aspx file, where I added your snippet (slightly modified) to support Danish date format:
  
  <p class="sf_newsDate"><%#Eval("Publication_Date", "{0:d'. 'MMMM' 'yyyy}")%></p>
  
  Unfortunately it does not work on the ListPageDetail.aspx file.
  
  Do you also have a workaround for that?
  
  Regards, Dennis

  Hello Dennis,
  
  Eval works on the Master template because there we use repeater which is bind to a datasource of IContent objects. The Details mode contains just standard ASP.NET controls which values are set dynamically and no one of these controls is a bindable control where you can use Eval
  
  Options
  
  1. Override the ContentView control and its SetSingleItemContent
  2. Use the url rewrite data from the query string to get the item and set the values
  
  All the best,
  Ivan Dimitrov
