cannot implement DisplayValueFormat in DataGridDateColumns

[Joshua]

I am having a hard time figuring things out in formatting the date.

Basically I expect that I can use the DisplayValueFormat of RadGridDatePicker in DataGridDateColumns. As what they said here: The DataGridDateColumns is used to represent DateTime objects. It uses the RadDatePicker control to pick a value in EditMode http://docs.telerik.com/windows-universal/controls/raddatagrid/columns/datagrid-datecolumn.

Hello Joshua,

The DataGrid's columns have a property named CellContentFormat that lets you apply a string format.

You didn't specific which format you wanted, so I used the DateTime string format "d" in this example:

<grid:DataGridDateColumn PropertyName="GraduationDate" CellContentFormat="{}{0:d}">

Here is a screenshot of the result and I've also attached a runnable demo that you can use to see the approach in action.

Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you for contacting Support and for choosing Telerik by Progress.
