[Solved] date format issue

[mww]

in the global.asax file, ive set the current culture as below

 

protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{

 

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB");

 

 

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB");

 

}

in my .aspx page, I have a date input like this

<

 

telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePickerNewsDate" runat="server" Calendar-CultureInfo="English (United Kingdom)" MinDate="01/01/2000 00:00:00" SkinID="Vista">

 

 

</telerik:RadDatePicker>

 

in my codebehind, I set the default date like this

this

 

.RadDatePickerNewsDate.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now;

 

and the date comes out in American format.  Why is this ?   eg 09/22/2009

[mww]

even when I select a date from the popup calendar, its still in US format, how can this be changed ?????

Hello Mark,

Could you please try to set the Culture directly on your RadDatePicker?

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server" Culture="en-GB">
    ...
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

Let me know whether this helps.

Kind regards,

whats the difference between this

Calendar-CultureInfo="English (United Kingdom)"

and this

Culture="en-GB"

Hello Mark,

Calendar-CultureInfo applies to the nested control only(Calendar), unlike the second approach that will affect the whole control.
