How to display the Hebrew Calendar?

[Eitan]

Hello,
I am using a RadDatePicker in my page (Windows phone 8 application, XAML & C#).

<telerikInput:RadDatePicker x:Name="DatePicker"
                            HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                            VerticalAlignment="Center"
                            Width="307" />

I would like the control to display the Hebrew calendar.

I tried to set the Culture:

DatePicker.Culture = new CultureInfo( "he-IL" );

The RadDatePicker shows the Hebrew names (day & month) of the Gregorian calendar, but not the Hebrew Calendar. 

Is it possible to show a "real" Hebrew calendar, and if so how do I do that?

Thanks

Hello Eitan,

Thank you for your question.

The Gregorain calendar is the default calendar for the he-IL culture, so if you need to display Hebrew you need to specify this explicitely:

CultureInfo info = new CultureInfo("he-IL");
info.DateTimeFormat.Calendar = new HebrewCalendar();
datePicker.Culture = info;

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hi,

I created a test application that includes the RadDatePicker

<telerikInput:RadDatePicker x:Name="DatePicker"
                            HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                            VerticalAlignment="Center"
                            Width="307" />

and the code:

public MainPage()
    {
    InitializeComponent();

    var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo( "he-IL" );
    cultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.Calendar = new HebrewCalendar();
    DatePicker.Culture = cultureInfo;

    // Sample code to localize the ApplicationBar
    //BuildLocalizedApplicationBar();
    }

However when I ran the application, and change the year the application crashes.

Hopefully you can duplicate problem.

The Telerik system will not let me open a support ticket. I am over my 1 year support period. Though, I am a Nokia DVLUP, and should have gotten another year. Please let me know how can we resolve this.

Thanks for you quick respo
