I am trying to set a date format for my definitions. I get an exception. What is the problem? Is this a bug?
private void SetTimeFormat(ViewDefinitionBase baseView)
        {
            if (baseView.GetType() == typeof(WeekViewDefinition))
            {
                //((WeekViewDefinition)(baseView)).GroupHeaderDateStringFormat = "{}{0:dddd(MM/dd/yyyy)}";
                //((WeekViewDefinition)(baseView)).TimerulerMajorTickStringFormat = "{}{0:h tt}:{0:mm} ";
                //((WeekViewDefinition)(baseView)).TimerulerMinorTickStringFormat = ":{0:mm}";
            }
            else if (baseView.GetType() == typeof(DayViewDefinition))
            {
                //((DayViewDefinition)(baseView)).GroupHeaderDateStringFormat = "{}{0:dddd(MM/dd/yyyy)}";
                //((DayViewDefinition)(baseView)).TimerulerMajorTickStringFormat = "{}{0:h tt}:{0:mm} ";
                //((DayViewDefinition)(baseView)).TimerulerMinorTickStringFormat = ":{0:mm}";
            }
            else if (baseView.GetType() == typeof(TimelineViewDefinition))
            {
                ((TimelineViewDefinition)(baseView)).GroupHeaderDateStringFormat = "{}{0:dddd(MM/dd/yyyy)}";
                ((TimelineViewDefinition)(baseView)).TimerulerGroupStringFormat = "";
                ((TimelineViewDefinition)(baseView)).TimerulerMajorTickStringFormat = "{}{0:h tt}:{0:mm} ";
                ((TimelineViewDefinition)(baseView)).TimerulerMinorTickStringFormat = ":{0:mm}";
            }
            else if (baseView.GetType() == typeof(MonthViewDefinition))
            {
                //((MonthViewDefinition)(baseView)).GroupHeaderDateStringFormat = "{}{0:dddd(MM/dd/yyyy)}";
                //((MonthViewDefinition)(baseView)).TimerulerGroupStringFormat = ":{0:mm}";
                //((MonthViewDefinition)(baseView)).TimerulerMajorTickStringFormat = "{}{0:h tt}:{0:mm} ";
            }

Hi Rod,

We'll research the reasons for this issue, for now please set the formatting string like this:

((TimelineViewDefinition)(baseView)).TimerulerMajorTickStringFormat = "{0:h tt}:{0:mm} ";

Hope this helps.
