How do you modify the template of the day names?

[Arash Emami]

Hi, I would like to modify how the day names (i.e. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.) are displayed.  How would I go about doing that?  Thank you

Hello Arash,

Thank you for your question.

You can modify the names of the weeks by setting the Culture of the Calendar:

calendar.Culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")
{
    DateTimeFormat = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo()
    {
        AbbreviatedDayNames = new string[] { "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday" },
    }
}

If you have further questions please let us know.

All the best,

Hi, I want to modify the template of the day names only.

It looks to me like both the day names and the numerical days are controlled by the same template - DayTemplate.

I need to have a different template for the day headers (i.e. Sun, Mon, etc.).  They need to look different from how the actual days look.

Can you please upload a hotfix that includes a 2nd template that controls just the day names?  Or, if there is an easier way to do it, let me know please.  It is needed for a project and we should have customer support available to us.  Thank you,

Hi Arash,

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Attached I am sending you a sample project in which that is illustrated. It is achieved using DayTemplateSelector. You can find an example of its use in our online demos.

If you need further assistance please let us know.

Kind regards,
