display bound value of date field formatted as short date

[Rick]

A search did not show up anything on my problem. I have a database date field I want to display on a form. I don't want to use an input datepicker. I just want to display a readonly short datetime. Things like the created and modified dates for a record.

I feel silly not finding this right away.

I hope somebody has done this before and it is easy.

Thanks,

Rick

Figured out one way: text binding with a forced calculation of the dependent field in the soon to be bound viewModel.

<span class="k-textbox" data-bind="text: cr.CreatedShortDate"></span>

with

viewModel.cr.CreatedShortDate = kendo.toString(viewModel.cr.Created, "g");

If I can get this calculation to occur automatically it would be great.
