RadControls for WinForms
Contents

RadCalendar provides built in internationalization support to build world-ready applications including:

  • The Culture property can be set using the drop down list in the Properties Window or set in code. The screenshot below shows the Culture property set to "German(Germany)".

    Copy[C#]
    this.radDateTimePicker1.Culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE");
    Copy[VB.NET]
    Me.RadDateTimePicker1.Culture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE")

  • Date Format Pattern: The Format property has valid values of Short, Long, Time and Custom. The Custom enables the CustomFormat property.

    Copy[C#]
    this.radDateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
this.radDateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "MMM - dd - yyyy";
    Copy[VB.NET]
    Me.RadDateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom
Me.RadDateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "MMM - dd - yyyy"
