I need to make my application in such a way that there would be a centralized configurable dateformat for the whole application.
I would store the applicable dateformats in an xml file or a database & the selected dateformat will also be stored.
If for example the user has selected dd/MM/yyyy as the default format, Then every page,user control would display the datepickers,grids,form fields that are datetime in dd/MM/yyyy format throughout the application.
Can you give me a possible solution or approach I should use to achieve this?
Any suggestions of doing it in a generic way so that I dont have to configure it on every page/control/usercontrol(grid, datepicker etc).

Can this be achieved through globalization feature of Telerik UI ? Some demo or documentation would be great.
