I have a datagrid that has a column that displays a date. The date is
currently being displayed in a long format, I want to format it to display
in short format. How do I do that in a datagrid?

Go to the Property Builder (right-click on the datagrid for the context
menu). Assign a column to the date field if you haven't already (don't
autogenerate columns). Pick that column, and assign a format of "{0:d}" to
it.

Use a lowercase d instead of uppercase.
