How to hide 00:00 timespan using data string format in gridview?

I have one column which contains value of type TimeSpan.

What I want to do show the empty cell if TimeSpan contains the 00:00 value else show as it is?

I tried doing various ways and didn't find any solution so thinking about using the jquery to accomplish this.

Before that wanted to know if it is possible using the DataStringFormat?

You could use RowDataBound instead:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        int columnIndex = 0; // presuming the first column
        String tsText = e.Row.Cells[columnIndex].Text;
        TimeSpan ts;
        if (!TimeSpan.TryParse(tsText, out ts) || ts == TimeSpan.Zero)
            e.Row.Cells[columnIndex].Text = "";
        else
            e.Row.Cells[columnIndex].Text = ts.ToString();
    }
}
