How do I show mm/yyyy on cells

[Tao Jiang]

Hi,

I tried to show mm/yyyy on gridview with the code

CultureInfo

 

cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("en-US");

 

 

DateTimeFormatInfo dateInfo = new DateTimeFormatInfo();

 

dateInfo.ShortDatePattern =

"MM/yyyy";

 

cultureInfo.DateTimeFormat = dateInfo;

 

Style datePickerStyle = new Style(typeof(RadDatePicker));

 

datePickerStyle.Setters.Add(

new Setter(RadDatePicker.CultureProperty, cultureInfo));

 

datePickerEditorSettings.CellEditStyle = datePickerStyle;

 

 

 

((

GridViewDataColumn)this.radGridViewData.Columns[1]).EditorSettings = datePickerEditorSettings;

It crashes, but if I change MM/yyyy to MM/dd/yyyy, the cells shows MM/dd/yyyy 12:00 AM.

Thanks so much for any help.

Hi Tao,

You can use the DataFormatString property of the GridViewDataColumn to apply custom formatting.

Please note that we have obsoleted editor settings in our 2009 Q3 release.

Thank you for the response, Stefan Dobrev.

I did it like what you said. But I bind this column to database field, which is string.
So it does not work that way.

Any idea?

Hello Tao,

You can use the Converter property of the binding to specify custom IValueConverter that will convert the value from string to date time.
