Kendo Grid automatically converting datetime provided from db, to browsers' local time.

[Chhavi]

Hi Team, 
Not Sure which recent update of the kendo library introduced this auto date time zone conversion in our project. After receiving UTC date from server, the kendo grid changes it to local time. Can you please help me with -

- Which version of kendo has this feature starting from?
- Is there any setting that we can set it off so that the grid shows exact the same datetime as provided from db?

Thanks,
Chhavi

Hello Chhavi,

By default, on the browser, the dates are converted to the local time zone. The scenarios where Grid is used are no exceptions.
On the client, there is no DateTime type, so it works with JavaScript Date objects. Thus we are bound to the same rules and functionality the Date object has in the browser.

For more information, you can review the following discussion from our forum:

Here is a part of our documentation where you can read more about the issue and possible ways to solve it:

Check the section "Possible Workarounds". There are three different methods you can try to use, so you can solve the problem.
