[Solved] Format DateTime with Current Culture

[Piero Casiraghi]

I need to format DateTime values with the current culture.

So i can't write something like this:
columns.Add(o => o.OrderDate).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")

I 've tried:
columns.Add(o => o.OrderDate.ToShortDateString())
but it display a string empty.

I've also tried:
columns.Add(o => o.OrderDate.ToString("d"))


Can you help me?
Thanks

Hello Piero Casiraghi,

If you are using server binding only the grid should support that if you provide any of the predefined date formats - e.g. "D", "G" etc. If you are using client-side binding (ajax or web service) make sure the Globalization method of the ScriptRegistrar is called:

<%= Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().Globalization(true) %>


In both cases make sure the Culture of your View is set to the appropriate value which is required for proper globalization support provided by the .NET runtime.

I hope this helps,

Hi,

This one works for me: columns.Bound(a => a.Modified).Format("{0:g}");


can we set the format as we can do for the datpicker:
 @(Html.Telerik().DatePicker().Format("dd/MM/yyyy") ?

this one doesnt work: columns.Bound(a => a.Modified).Format(""dd/MM/yyyy"");

i get in the grid "dd/MM/yyyy" and not the date.

Thank you

Ori
