I create a WinForm app with some DataGridView controls using VB2005.
I have a dataTable(dt1) contains, among other, some date columns.
However, due to locally we represent date as dd/MM/yyyy format,
I have written an additional function to create yet another
dataTable (dt2) to replace the those date columns with string columns
of dd/MM/yyyy. I then set DGV dataSource to this second table (dt2).

If I were to create addition dataTables for every datatables that contain
DateTime column(s), this will cause my program consume many extra resources.

Is there any other alternative to show the date columns in DGV in custom
format (dd/MM/yyyy) without recreating an extra datatable? I would
like to retain the date columns in dataTable for other purposes.

Thanks for your reply.
