title: Modify Date Format for "last modified" in SharePoint:CreatedModifiedInfo
body: <p>I am trying to modify the date format displayed in a custom template using the  field.  What I want to display is this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>This page was last modified on 29 Jan
    2010 by Joel Spolsky</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>(where the user name links to their profile).</p>
  
  <p>I found some good examples here on <a href="http://mindsharpblogs.com/aaron/archive/2008/02/08/4283.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://mindsharpblogs.com/aaron/archive/2008/02/08/4283.aspx</a> which helped me get the custom template set up.  And I looked through the class members on the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.webcontrols.createdmodifiedinfo_members.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MSDN documentation</a>.  But I cannot figure out how to modify the date format.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to pass a date format string such as "<strong>d MMM yyyy</strong>" to the FieldValue to use for rendering?</p>
  
  <p>This is my current code which works except the date format comes in as 29/01/2010 19:22  which isn't as user-friendly.  </p>

              &lt;SharePoint:FieldValue FieldName="Modified" runat="server" ControlMode="Display" DisableInputFieldLabel="true"/&gt;
              by
              &lt;SharePoint:FormField FieldName="Author" runat="server" ControlMode="Display" DisableInputFieldLabel="true" /&gt;
          &lt;/CustomTemplate&gt;
