Question How to take the Date value from datagridview and transfer it to a label

[DeMaps2022]

Hello,
I am using Vb.net and acess database
I have a form called creddatails which has a datagridview
my dgview is working properly and it has columns like Purchase invoice, credit amount, date, and time.
But whenever i use this code, my label shows date and time even though in the dgview, the column that i want took out the value only shows date.

    Private Sub dgview_CellContentClick(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgview.CellContentClick
        If e.RowIndex >= 0 Then
            Dim row As DataGridViewRow
            row = Me.dgview.Rows(e.RowIndex)
            dtpur.Text = row.Cells(2).Value.ToString
        End If
    End Sub

my goal is to get only the date value from the dgview and transfer it to a label without time.

P.S sorry if my english is bad

Cast the value as type Date, then call ToShortDateString or pass an appropriate format specifier when calling ToString.

Also, if the user has clicked a cell (which they have as you're in cell content click) then you can use

dtpur.Text = dgview.currentrow.Cells(2).Value.ToString

Also, a couple of suggestions.
If the cell content is blank (empty) then your code will fail - it cannot convert the .value to ToString
Rather than explicitly using (2) as the third column, use enums - what happens if you move this column or add a column at the beginning ... you have to change all the (2) to (3).... a major pain....
