Answer 1

This works for me, and allows for Null values

grid.Column("End_Date",format: item => ((item.End_Date == null) ? "" : item.End_Date.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"))),

Answer 2

This worked for me:

grid.Column("Date_Of_Birth", "Date Of Birth", format: item => ((item.Date_Of_Birth == null) ? "" : item.Date_Of_Birth.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")))

Answer 3

grid.Column(
    "PublishDate", 
    "Published on",
    format: (item) => string.Format("{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}", item.PublishDate)
)

Answer 4

If DateTime Property is defined as (can contain null) :

public DateTime? WorkedDate { get; set; }

Use this format:

grid.Column("WorkedDate", "Last Worked On",
   format: (item) => item.WorkedDate != null 
   ? item.WorkedDate.ToString("MM/dd/yy") : "", canSort: true)

Otherwise if it is defined as below (can't be null), it will have either actual date or .MinDate as the default.

public DateTime WorkedDate { get; set; }

Use format:

grid.Column("WorkedDate", "Last Worked On",
   format: (item) => item.WorkedDate != DateTime.MinValue ? 
   item.WorkedDate.ToString("MM/dd/yy") : "", canSort: true)
