I'm sorry, I think I was unclear in the way I phrased that statement. When I
said "SelectedTime is a property of type DateTime", I meant that my Control
has a property named SelectedTime that is a DateTime, like the following:

Public Property SelectedTime() As DateTime

But back to my original question, are you saying that if I do something
like:

<cc1:TimePicker id="timepkr" runat="server" SelectedTime='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"myfield") %>'>

It will assign the entire date & time including milliseconds from the
database to my SelectedTime property? The reason this concerned me is
because the single quotes around the databinding expression made me think
the value from the database was converted to a String before being assigned
to the property. Is this true, or will the exact value from the database be
assigned to the property without being converted to a string first? Thanks.

Ah right - the OP does have a habit of cross-posting, which I usually
correct if I remember...

Ahem...

string strDateLiteral = "29 Aug 2007 15:59:13:123";
DateTime dtmDate = DateTime.ParseExact(strDateLiteral, "dd MMM yyyy
HH:mm:ss:fff");

Seth's first rule of newsgroups: Act like an ***hole - receive no more
help.

With that said, I consider this a warning and try to help you again.

I don't see the problem - you can assign the string for the Control's
property like this:

   <uc1:DateUC ID="theDateUC" runat="server" TheDateTime='8/29/2007
09:01:52.257' />

In my usercontrol I created the property looks like:

   public DateTime TheDateTime {
       get {
           return DateTime.Parse(this.dateTimeLiteral.Text);
       }
       set {
           this.dateTimeLiteral.Text = value.ToString("M/d/yyyy
HH:mm:ss:fff");
       }
   }

And everything showed up in my literal control just fine.

Thanks,

Nathan,

Maybe you can next time write a message like your subject, putting "Wood" in
your subject and start than to write about "Bush" does not give good
information.

This is what you wrote.

milliseconds.

This does not mean (probably beside in your mind)

Although it is for me completely not to understand what you want.

A DateTime literal is fixed in one format, which is based on the USA time
and almost never usable in the rest of the world or by internet sites which
are not only for the USA (In fact can that be all COM, ORG, NET, TV and more
of those sites). Therefore it probably even for most not recognisable what
you want in these very much international newsgroups.

Outside the USA probably nobody uses them.
