Hello,
We are using the MVC wrapper to create a grid that contains a column with a date in it.
The date is stored in UTC, and we would like to display it in UTC.
For most browsers, simply binding to the column and specifying a format string of "MM/dd/yyyy" works fine, but on the iPad the date is being converted to the local time zone instead. We are using remote data binding.
After searching around, I came across this:
http://www.kendoui.com/code-library/mvc/grid/using-utc-time-on-both-client-and-server-sides.aspx
Which suggests that there is no work around other than to add the client-side javascript to convert the date back to it's original time zone. I am just posting this message to confirm that this is still the case (since that project is over a year old).
Thanks,
--Dan

Hi Dan,
Yes, this is still the recommended way of handling dates. Basically all Date object in JavaScript are created with a timezone offset (taken from the OS clock) and since this is the standard browser behavior there is not much we can do about it.
