Formating a Date from WCF Service

[mvbaffa]

Hi,

I have a WCF Service that returns a date like this: /Date(1305169200000-0300)/
I have used the template suggested in your demos like this:

template: '#= kendo.toString(MyDate,"dd MMMM yyyy") #'

But it did not worked.

How can I format my this field ??? Shoud I use a custom function ???

IN fact I have some other fields like money fields to format, Where can I find a tutorial or documentation

Thanks in advance

Hi Mvbaffa,

 You can check this forum thread for a possible solution. I have implemented a JavaScript function which parses dates in /Date()/ format to JavaScript and then formats it.

Hi,

I am an ASP.NET and Flex programmer, I do not have much experience in Javascript. So excuse me if this is an obviuos question.

I have servers configured for Regionals Settings in English and I need to discover the regional settings of the client and show and read Dates and Doubles in the client settings.

My Kendo application does not have Postbacks. I work in Javascript and HTML exactly like I do in Flex. The client calls the server to load pages using jQuery and calls the WCF services to get the data necessary in JSON Format.

How can I discover the client Regional settings and work in this fields accordingly ???

Thanks in advance

Hello Mvbaffa,

You can use the HTTP Accept-Language header for this detection. It has its drawbacks, though - check this w3 article for further information.
