Hi phonghue,
You need to use TemplateField to format DateTime. Refer below code.
HTML
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3" DataKeyNames="AutoNum">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#CCCCFF" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="AutoNum" HeaderText="AutoNum" SortExpression="AutoNum" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" Visible="false" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="StudCWID" HeaderText="CWID" SortExpression="StudCWID" ReadOnly="True" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="STUDLastname" HeaderText="STUDLastname" SortExpression="STUDLastname" Visible="false" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="STUDFirstname" HeaderText="STUDFirstname" SortExpression="STUDFirstname" Visible="false" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Contact Date" SortExpression="ContactDate">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtContactDate" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ContactDate","{0:d}") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblContactDate" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ContactDate", "{0:dd-MM-yyyy}") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" ButtonType="Button" />
<asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True" ButtonType="Button" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource3" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DBHUSRConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM STUDENTSPLACEMENTS" SelectCommandType="Text"
UpdateCommand="UPDATE STUDENTSPLACEMENTS SET ContactDate = @ContactDate WHERE (AutoNum = @AutoNum)"
DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM STUDENTSPLACEMENTS WHERE (AutoNum = @AutoNum)">
<DeleteParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="AutoNum" Type="Int32" />
</DeleteParameters>
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="ContactDate" Type="DateTime" />
<asp:Parameter Name="AutoNum" Type="Int32" />
</UpdateParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
