How do I disable the automatic conversion to the client timezone. I want the scheduler to display the date and time I tell it to without it converting to the users local timezone. I am displaying flight data and the users have the ability to plot the events in UTC, at a given airport or their timezone. I convert these dates manually in SQL and return them to the UI. Is this possible or is there some workaround I can put in place.

Hello Chad,

To disable the Timezone conversion in the currentTimeMarker use:

currentTimeMarker: {
    useLocalTimezone: false
  }

To work around the automatic implicit conversion of dates between server and client side, you can use this workaround provided by Telerik.

Hello Robert,

Actually the Scheduler by default expects to receive and sends to the server only UTC dates and if no "timezone" option is defined on the client side all events will be shown by converting these UTC dates to the client timezone. If you need to show the events the same way to all clients than you should set the "timezone" option. If you need to show the events the same way as on the server side than this option should be set to "Etc/UTC".

This still does not seem to work. With everything set at Etc/UTC the scheduler is still adjusting the times.
