DATETIME Default getDate() query

Hi,
I have created a datagrid within an ASP.NET page that links to an SQL
table - this works just fine. One of the columns retrieves the date which a
particular row was populated. However, the format
which the date is returned is:
19.12.2004 13:03:25
I only want to display the date that the row was populated, not the exact
time as well. When I created the table I used the following code (I've cut
out the rest of the fields):
CREATE TABLE Users
(
Paul,
You can use this as your default:
Default dateadd(d,0,datediff(d,0,getdate()))
It works by finding the number of day boundaries between day 0 (January
1, 1900) and now, and adds that many days back to day 0.
