how would I format this AND use it in a ClientTemplate?

        columns.Bound(t => t.CreationDate)
        .Title("Date / Time")
        .Format("{0:dd-MMMM-yyyy}");
        //.ClientTemplate(
        //"<span>CreationDate</span>"
        //);

Ran into this same thing recently and found this somewhere (but not sure where)...There is a Kendo function you can use to format column fields in a ClientTemplate:

#=kendo.toString(ColumnName,'yyyy-MM-dd')#

Full template example:

columns.Template(@<text></text>).ClientTemplate("#=kendo.toString(ColumnName,'yyyy-MM-dd')#");

Column name is of course the bound column. If you still want to be able to sort on the field, add it as a bound column as well.

columns.Bound(e => e.ColumnName).Template(@<text></text>).ClientTemplate("#=kendo.toString(ColumnName,'yyyy-MM-dd')#");
Hope that helps.

If the column is part of a detailgrid you will need to escape the '#' like below  Hopefully this can save someone some time 

 

columns.Bound(o => o.ReceiveDt).ClientTemplate("\\#= kendo.toString(kendo.parseDate(ReceiveDt),'MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt') \\#");
