I have an object with a date property which is defined like this in the mapping file:

Code:

<property name="Date" column="date" type="Nullables.NHibernate.NullableDateTimeType, Nullables.NHibernate"/>

Now the output of this property looks like "13-8-2004 0:00:00". Can I format the date property to "13-8-2004"?
I can do this in ASP.NET by writing a function which does this, but I was wondering if NHibernate could do it for me.

I think formatting the date would be a UI layer thing, not something that NHHibernate or even your business layer would do.

agree with pilot bob, UI layer. here is a sample from mine:

Code:

Literal dateCreated = (Literal) FindControl("_dateCreated");
dateCreated.Text = this._emailTemplate.DateCreated.ToString("F");

creates a date that looks like:

check the ToString method of the DateTime class for formatting options.
