Radtimepicker using US date format instead of localised date format

[Chris]

Hello,

it seems the radtimepicker is always using the US Date format. Why is it not using the the host machine localisation ? The problem is now I can not easily convert to date time (even though only the time portion is relevant ) . Please see attached screen shot. Here in South Africa our machines are set to DD/M/YYYY plus time but the timepicker is return the full date in us format M/DD/YYYY plus time.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your patience.

Let me first start with the looking at the attached picture the RadTimePicker control is bound to a string property. My guess is that the SelectedDate property is bound to this string LatestFor property. The SelectedDate is a DateTime? object. Binding it to a string property will ignore the current applied culture format. I have tested this on my side and was able to reproduce it.

My recommendation is to bind the SelectedDate property to a DateTime? in order for the current date format to be applied.

private DateTime? _LatestFor;

public DateTime? LatestFor
{
    get { return _LatestFor; }
    set {
        var defaultDateTime = value;
        _LatestFor = value;
        this.OnPropertyChanged("LatestFor"); }
}

Give this approach a try and let me know if it is applicable in your main application.
