Convert utc server date to local time

[Gregory]

Anyone know how I can display a utc date/time I'm getting from my server as the user's local time? I'm putting this date/time in a ClientRowTemplate if that matters.

Hi Gregory,

Please refer to our Using UTC time on both the client and the server article that shows how to implement such functionality.

I think I found the right way to format my date. However, I'm having an issue with the ClientRowTemplate not running again on grid.refresh() it seems to only run my date formatting method when the data is read from the datasource again. Any ideas why grid.refresh() doesn't seem to run my ClientRowTemplate again or have a work around?

[Gregory]

Sorry, spoke too soon.​ Refresh does run my ClientRowTemplate again. However. my dates aren't getting formatted to local time after a refresh tho. I'll keep digging. Thank you for your time. Still researching!

Hello Gregory,

If you have problems with formatting dates you can check the following help article which shows the possible options to format a date with kendo api:
