[Solved] Set label and datepicker format inside grid

[Andy Taslim]

Hi guys,

I have an issue with setting the format of label and datepicker inside grid. I want to set "lblGridCreatedDate" and "lblGridCreatedDate" to have dd/MM/yyyy format in code behind. How can I do that?

Here is my code:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="CreatedDate" HeaderText="Date" UniqueName="CreatedDate">
   <ItemTemplate>
       <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblGridCreatedDate" Text='<%# Eval("CreatedDate") %>'></asp:Label>
   </ItemTemplate>
   <EditItemTemplate>
       <telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" ID="dtGridCreatedDate" Text='<%# Eval("CreatedDate") %>'></telerik:RadDatePicker>
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thank you

AGT

Hello Andy,

Try the following code snippet in ItemDataBound event to change the DateFormat of the date shown in Label and RadDatePicker.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            Label lb = (Label)item.FindControl("lblGridCreatedDate");
            lb.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(lb.Text).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
         }
       if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            RadDatePicker datePick = (RadDatePicker)editItem.FindControl("dtGridCreatedDate");
            datePick.DateInput.DateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy";
         }
    }
