Hello Ahmed,

Thank you for contacting us.

You can try with this configuration:

calendar.Culture = new CultureInfo("ar-SA");
calendar.Culture.DateTimeFormat.Calendar = new GregorianCalendar();

I hope this helps.

Thanks Rosy for your support.

Now already problem solved by your solution but it produced some issues :

- when i slide down or up days names is drawn reversed  for second then it is drawn correctly after sliding finished.

- numbers is still in English format not Arabic format

Hello Ahmed,

Could you please send is a sample that reproduces the first issue, because on our side everything looks fine.

As for the second problem, from this thread in stackoverflow it seems that the CultureInfo will not help in this case. Unfortunately, the RadCalendar control does not support other way to customize the day cells content.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
