Setting culture on date picker with data-role and data-bind

[Paul]

Hi there,

I created a data bound date picker using the data-role attribute as follows: 

         <input id="startDatepicker" name="startDatepicker" class="datePicker" data-role="datepicker" data-bind="value: settings.startDate" data-format="yyyy-MM-dd" />

when I try to change the data-format to 'dd-MM-yyyy' the value wont show up, I think its because the default culture is en-US and therefore the date value becomes invalid. is there a way to specify the culture of the control to say en-NZ so that I can specify the format to dd/MM/yyyy correctly?

There are quite a few examples with setting date format as follows:

$("#datepicker").kendoDatePicker({
culture: "de-DE"
});

but does say how to do data binding if I am doing it this way

Any suggestions around either approach is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks
Paul

Hello Paul,

In general, you can define the culture option the same way you've done it with the format:

data-culture="en-NZ"

Once the correct culture is set, you can use one of the predefined date formats, which are culture related. Here is a simple Kendo Scratchpad demo showing how to accomplish this.
