Gridview can't format a date

I have a gridview bound to a SQL Server table. One of my columns is bound to
a datetime field. I set the column's dataformatstring property to
{0:yy-MM-dd} or {0:d} or {0:D} it doesn't matter. The dates are shown as
4/8/2006 12:00:00 AM. I want the date only but I can't supress the time. The
Gridview.autogeneratecolumns = false if that matters. Any suggestion would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
