[Solved] Formatting Values for telerik:RadDatePicker

[Armen]

Hello,

I have 

 

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server" Culture="English (United States)"

 

 

 

Skin="Sunset">

 

 

 

<Calendar Skin="Sunset" UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False"

 

 

 

ViewSelectorText="x">

 

 

 

</Calendar>

 

 

 

<DateInput DateFormat="MM d yyyy" >

 

 

 

</DateInput>

When I look at the result of that selection from the server side, it is always in the following format
 2009-05-20-12-00......

I need just 05/20/2009 , is any way to do so within telerik:RadDatePicker control
or I need to format that in other place?

Thank you
Armen

Hi Armen,

One suggestion to get the date in required format is by converting the SelectedDate to ShortDateStringFormat as shown below.

CS:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DateTime TempDate = (DateTime)RadDatePicker1.SelectedDate.Value;
    string Date = TempDate .ToShortDateString();
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
