Hi
I'm not sure if this post belongs here in RadCalendar or for RadDateInput.
Basically I have some RadDateInputs that share a common RadCalendar.
I know how to highlight Today's date in the RadCalendar, but is that date based on the browser's timezone?
What I need to do is programatically set the timezone from our database (like I do with culture). That way the UTC offset would be correct.
How would I go about doing this?
Kind regards

Hi Plamen
I could see the examples for culture but not for timezones.
I may have missed it but could you please provide a programming example.
Basically if we have a user whose laptop's timezone is set for London Timezone but would rather have our website show dates in Australian Eastern Standard Time timezone I would like to be able to set this programmatically.
Otherwise during certain hours of the day it would look 1 day out.
Kind regards

Hi Mark,
Generally the RaDatedInput or RadCalendar controls does not provide support for timezones. However, you can display the GMT (or other time zone) time by handling the OnDateSelected client-side event and modifying the selected date with the appropriate offset using the Date.getTimezoneOffset() method.
Here is a sample code snippet:

Actually I didn't want to do it for the selected date but for "Today's Date".
In the aspx page my RadCalendar that is shared is defined as:
<telerik:RadCalendar ID="calVenue" runat="server">
<SpecialDays>
<telerik:RadCalendarDay Repeatable="Today" Date="">
<ItemStyle CssClass="YellowGreen" />
</telerik:RadCalendarDay>
</SpecialDays>
</telerik:RadCalendar>
Can I set this programatically on the web server to a particular timezone?
Or would I need to programatically do this in Javascript?
Kind regards

I found a way to achieve this.
In the aspx page I now set the RadCalendar Repeatable property to "None" instead of "Today".
Then on the web server I set the date that I want (which is a calculation based on the user's preferred timezone).
Works nicely.
