Problem with date in dataset. Need help. Thanks.

[Shapper]

Hello,

In the [pubDate] field of a dataset the content in each row has the
format:
Fri, 20 May 2005 12:30:00 GMT

When I use:
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "pubDate", "{0:f}") %>

the content is not being recognized as a date.
Well, at least it is not formatted as a date. It just shows the text.

Why? How can I solve this?

Thanks,
Miguel

Hello,

I tried that. It's still the same.
It shows the entire text.

I have no idea what is going on.

Can someone tell me what is wrong here?

Thanks,
Miguel
