[Solved] Date format is wrong

[Troy Demet]

I am using the DateTime picker and since the update to 2012.1.214 the control is taking a date formatted as 6/13/2012 and changing it to 2012-06-13. I have set the culture and uiCulture of the site to en-US.
Any suggestions on correcting this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Troy,

 Do you experience the same problem in our online demos? I am asking this because they are using the 2012.1.214 version with US culture and I was not able to reproduce the problem there.
If you experience the problem in the demos, please provide reproduction steps so we can investigate further.

Kind regards,

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I can confirm the same bug as the original poster. My model property is a nullable datetime that has a value. Formatting does not occur. Instead of getting my format "17-Apr-2012" the value is set to "2012-04-17T05:00:00Z".

This is driving me crazy and I have been unable to prevent the behavior. All your demos work fine for me. The DatePicker works correctly everywhere else in my app except for this one scenario.

The only additional information I can tell you is that I am building the DatePicker in code which is called during an Html.Partial call that is being used to display a jQuery dialog

var result = _html.Telerik().DatePickerFor(expression).Format(Constants.DateFormat2).ToHtmlString();
return MvcHtmlString.Create(result);

UPDATE: The value "2012-04-17T05:00:00Z" is what is in ModelState. It seems that under certain conditions, the raw value from ModelState is used at the initial value in the datepicker.
