GroupDescriptor custom DataFormatString

[Fernan]

Hi,

I have a GridView for a DesktopAlert. It is like the example in your demos. 

For the grouping by email received datetime I have used the same example: 

 

var dateGroupDescriptor = new Telerik.Windows.Data.GroupDescriptor<Message, DateTime, DateTime>();

           dateGroupDescriptor.GroupingExpression = email => email.Received.Value.Date;
           this.gridView.GroupDescriptors.Add(dateGroupDescriptor);

           var dateSortDescriptor = new SortDescriptor<Message, DateTime>();
           dateSortDescriptor.SortingExpression = item => item.Received.Value;
           dateSortDescriptor.SortDirection = System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Descending;
           this.gridView.SortDescriptors.Add(dateSortDescriptor);

 

It works succesfull, however the format of the group header is "mm/dd/yyyy" and I need other date formart. 

How do I change the date format string?

 

Thanks!

Hello,

The FormatString of the group can be set for the column you are performing the group on. You can use the GroupHeaderFormatString property of the column:

this.clubsGrid.Columns["Established"].GroupHeaderFormatString = "dd-MM-yyyy";

GroupDescriptor gd = new GroupDescriptor()
{
Member = "Established",
        SortDirection = ListSortDirection.Descending
}

this.clubsGrid.GroupDescriptors.Add(gd);


When performing grouping operation over the "Established" column, the aforementioned format string will be applied for the Group Header. Would it be possible to set the Grouping this way? I have also attached a sample project which you can check.
