Grid + detail + date format GMT

[Farid]

Hello,

I have a grid that display a date. The controller send to the grid the dates in the right format 'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss'  but the grid displays dates such as  'Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:05:07 GMT 0200 (Romance Daylight Time)'.  Is it possible to set the default format in french without reformating the data?
PS: i set the culture in french.

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Scan>(Model)
                .Name("grid_Time_" + ViewData["ID"])
                .Columns(columns =>
                             {

                                 columns.Bound(e =>  e.Timestamp).Title("Date").Width(150).Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss}");
                                 columns.Bound(e => e.GatewayID).Width(20);
                             })
                .Sortable()
                .Pageable()
                .ClientDetailTemplateId("template2")
                .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                          .Ajax()
                          .PageSize(30)
                          .Model(model =>
                                      {
                                          model.Id(d => d.GatewayID);

                                      })

                )
                .Events(events => events.DataBound("dataBound"))
                )

I have a client template which is loading with two values :

.Read(read => read.Action("ReadScannedMeterByGateway", "Flottes", new { Id = "#=GatewayID#",Timestamp="#=Timestamp#" }))

How can i send the dates with the format 'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss'  to server?

Hi Farid,

Please find the answers of your questions below:

• Is it possible to set the default format in french without reformating the data?  - Basically you should apply format if you need the date formatted differently. In current case you can use one of the default named masks to format the date based on the current culture. Please check the example below:   

  //if the culture is set to FR the date will be formatted:
  //G: "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"
  columns.Bound(p => p.OrderDate).Format("{0:G}");

• You can format the date using KendoUI format method in the template:  

  .Read(read => read.Action("ReadScannedMeterByGateway", "Flottes", new { Id = "#=GatewayID#",Timestamp="#=kendo.format('{0:G}', Timestamp)#" }))
