[Solved] Sometimes wrong culture displayed for Date

[Frank Michael]

I have this code:

 Html.Telerik().Grid<RenderSprint>()
        .BindTo(Model)
        .Name("SprintGrid")
        .Localizable("de-DE") //ToDo Culture allgemein ersetzen
        .ToolBar(tb => {
            tb.Insert();
            tb.Custom().Action<SprintController>(sc => sc.Aggregate()).Text("Aggregate"); // ToDo hier muss ich Ajax machen.
        })
// shortened

Most of the time the date displays german. But not always. Strange things are happening.

Hi Frank Michael ,

We are not sure how to reproduce this problem based on your description. Could you reproduce this problem in our online demo?

The phenomenon happens in this way:

1) View enter - all dates are displayed in german.
2) Click Row Edit - The editable field of Date is displayed in us culture.
3) If I save in this situation the day and the month is exchanged. I.e. if it was 1.3.2010 in german (First of March - de) then it is 3/1/2010 (first of march - us) in the edit field and later it is displayed 3/1/2010 - along with all other rows in the table. If I re-enter the View, the row in question is 3.1.2010 (Third of January - de) - date has been changed.
* If I select by using the DatePicker the field content is german again.
* If I Cancel the edit, the row in question is displayed 3/1/2010 (us) while all other rows are displayed still (de).
* If I navigate to the second page then all rows are displayed in us.
I do not know how to reproduce this in the demos, because the demos. I tried http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/localization?culture=de-DE but there is no issue. But how should I find out what the difference is?

Hello Frank Michael ,

I suggest you check the example's source code. Also make sure you have checked the help topic which shows how to enable globalization. Probably this is missing in your code.

Hi, I have a similar problem. Checked the online, and my localgrid localization example, it seems to be wrong indeed (choosing German culture): picking say 05.03.2010 will save as 03.05.2010. Picking a day with a higher number than 12 will not update. My problem is actually with datatype double, but I think the source of the problem is the same or related. Validation "says" it expects a "." decimal seperator, while the culture is Dutch so it should expect ",". In the html source code this seems to be correct though: "numericdecimalseparator":",". Now when I fill in a double value 

like 150.95 it will pass clientside validation but save as 0, obviously 

because the system expects 150,95.

For me the solution was

Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()
                     .Globalization(true)

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I posted a question on the forum about the Double formatting issue. It is not supported yet...
