Apply Dates that Ignore Timezones

Environment

Product	Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Grid
Product Version	2025.1.227

Description

How can I use dates that ignore the time zone in the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Grid?

Solution

Set the value of the DateTime property as UTC time by using its ticks:

C#

    public class Person
    {
        public int PersonID { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        private DateTime birthDate;
        public DateTime BirthDate
        {
            get { return this.birthDate; }
            set
            {
                this.birthDate = new DateTime(value.Ticks, DateTimeKind.Utc);
            }

        }
    }

What the code does in reality is to convert a standard DateTime value coming through value.Ticks and make it in UTC format using the DateTimeKind.Utc configuration parameter.

To review the complete example, refer to the ASP.NET MVC application on how to use dates that ignore time zones when working with the Grid.
