Date Format (Culture Settings ignored)

[Matthias Bibo]

Hi,

I am having some problems with the RadGridView with Row Virtualizing in Silverlight.
The Date Column seems to randomly Format the Date with German or American formatting.
See the example:



If I scroll vertically, the format keeps changing. If I scroll horizontally everything is fine.
I have both Row Virtualizing and Column Virtualizing active.

I have tried to set the Culture direclty on the GridView, but it did not solve the problem.

Am I missing something here?

Best Regards,

Hi Matthias,

So far we are not aware of such an issue.

May I ask you to try setting a Language for the GridView? Do you use our most recent version - Q3 2012?

Hi Didie,

I have tried with the new Telerik Controls (Q3 2012) and the previous version.

The Grid is Declared as follows:

<bdlControls:BDLGridView Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="2" ValidatesOnDataErrors="InEditMode" ItemsSource="{Binding Items, Mode=TwoWay}" SelectedItem="{Binding CurrentItem, Mode=TwoWay}" CanUserFreezeColumns="False" AutoGenerateColumns="False" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" EnableRowVirtualization="True" EnableColumnVirtualization="True" ShowGroupPanel="False" SelectionMode="Single" CanUserDeleteRows="False" CanUserInsertRows="False" Language="de-DE">
           <bdlControls:BDLGridView.Columns>
               <bdlControls:BDLGridViewImageColumn Header="" DataMemberBinding="{Binding IconPath}" IsReadOnly="True" Width="Auto" />
               <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn Header="Id" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Id}" IsReadOnly="True" Width="Auto">
                   <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}" Foreground="{Binding Converter={StaticResource TemplateConverter}}" />
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
               </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn>
               <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}" IsReadOnly="True" Width="Auto">
                   <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Foreground="{Binding Converter={StaticResource TemplateConverter}}" />
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
               </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn>
               <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn Header="Beschreibung" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Description}" MinWidth="40"  Width="*">
                   <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" Foreground="{Binding Converter={StaticResource TemplateConverter}}" />
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
               </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn>
               <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn Header="Angelegt am" DataMemberBinding="{Binding InsertDate}" IsReadOnly="True" Width="Auto">
                   <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>

                   <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <TextBlock Text="{Binding InsertUser}" Foreground="{Binding Converter={StaticResource TemplateConverter}}" />
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
               </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn>
               <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn Header="Geändert am" DataMemberBinding="{Binding UpdateDate}" IsReadOnly="True" Width="Auto">
                   <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <TextBlock Text="{Binding UpdateDate}" Foreground="{Binding Converter={StaticResource TemplateConverter}}" />
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
               </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn>
               <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn Header="Geändert von" DataMemberBinding="{Binding UpdateUser}" IsReadOnly="True" Width="Auto">
                   <bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <TextBlock Text="{Binding UpdateUser}" Foreground="{Binding Converter={StaticResource TemplateConverter}}" />
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
               </bdlControls:BDLGridViewDataColumn>
           </bdlControls:BDLGridView.Columns>
       </bdlControls:BDLGridView>

I have tried setting the Language in Xaml (as in code example) and also in Code behind. I also tried setting the CurrenThread Culture.
Nothing seems to work.
