Custom short date format

[rcmp-grc]

I'm using MVVM pattern and would like to create a custom format for DateTimePicker of yyyy-MM-dd, how can I accomplish this?

Hello,

I suppose that you have checked out the Defining a custom format part of the Formatting article in our documentation. Since the Culture property of the RadDateTimePicker is a dependency property, you can use the same approach with a binding. Here is what I have in mind:

public class ViewModel
{
     public ViewModel()
        {
            this.Culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
            this.Culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd";
        }

        private CultureInfo culture;

        public CultureInfo Culture
        {
            get { return culture; }
            set { culture = value; }
        }
}

<telerik:RadDateTimePicker DataContext="{StaticResource ViewModel}"
                                   Culture="{Binding Culture}"
                                   InputMode="DateTimePicker"  />

Hope this helps.

Hi, yes I did have a look but wasn't sure about the binding. It works as presented, thanks.
