Formatting DataGrid

[quinnipiac0807]

I'm just trying to convert a column in a datagrid to dd-mm-yyyy instead of day/month/year and then time.

This is my statement:

try
{
DateTime StartTime = Convert.ToDateTime(drv.Row.ItemArray[1]);
e.Item.Cells[1].Text = StartTime.ToShortDateString();
}
catch
{
e.Item.Cells[1].Text = "";
}

For some reason it skips over the try after it executes the first line (DateTime StartTime ....) and goes right to the catch, printing nothing. There is data there that should be converted. StartTime is in Column 1 so that's not the problem but I don't understand why it skips to the catch.

print out the error that occurs instead of catching it for testing purposes..you may learn more as to why it's erroring out.
