RadCalendar localize date

[Greg]

The rad calendar seems to localize everything but the date itself. For French locale, the date should be DD/MM/YYYY.

This is the code that localizes everything but the date on the RadCalendar:

rcCurrent.CultureInfo =

 

new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(UserContext.Locale);

What am I missing to get the date to localize?

Hello Greg,

I guess your problem is regarding the format of the selected date.One method to get the date in required format is to set the DateTimeFormat of CurrentCulture form code behind. Here is the code that i tried.

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
    RadCalendar1.CultureInfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-FR", true);
    CultureInfo ci = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name);
    ci.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern= "dd/mm/yyyy";
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;
   }

protected void RadCalendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.SelectedDatesEventArgs e)
   {

       DateTime date = RadCalendar1.SelectedDate;//Date in DD/MM/YYYY format
   }

Thanks,
Princy.

The problem with that is the date will always be in DD/MM/YYYY format, even if my locale is United States. I need the date formate to change based on locale, not based on a hard-coded format. It seems everything else in the radcalendar other than the date format localizes properly based on locale.

You were right, this has been resolved. Thanks!
