Week number

[Joe]

I am using RadControls from "TelerikUI.UniversalWindowsPlatform": "2016.2.608.45"

 

I'm experiencing some inconsistencies with week number on the RadCalendar.  The desired behavior is to show a month at a time, with the week number shown on each Sunday cell, and Sunday is the first day of the week.  I am using the WeekNumberCellStyle to display it.  It looks fine visually but the data is incorrect for a couple months.

 

In months where the first of the month is a Sunday, the entire previous week is shown in the top row, which puts the first week of that month in the second row.  However the week numbers are displayed as if the first of that month is in the top row.  As a result, the week numbers are all shown as one higher for that month.  When viewing the months before and after, the week numbers are all shown correctly.

 

The first instance this can be seen is when comparing Dec 2016 to Jan 2017.  When viewing Dec 2016, the first week is Week 47: Sun Nov 27-Sat Dec 3, and the last visible row is Week 1: Sun Jan 1-Sat Jan 7.  This is correct.  But when viewing Jan 2017, the first row is Week 1: Sun Dec 25-Sat Dec 31, second row is Week 2: Sun Jan 1-Sat Jan 7, etc., through Week 6: Sun Jan 29-Sat Feb 4.  The week numbers for all of these are incorrect.  When viewing Feb 2017, the week numbers correct themselves.  The first row is Week 5: Sun Jan 29-Sat Feb 4.

 

The problem also occurs in Oct 2017, Apr 2018, and so forth.

 

Can someone please let me know if I am doing something wrong or if this is a bug and will be fixed?

 

Thanks,

Joe

Hello Joe,

You are right for the behavior of the RadCalendar. We can confirm it is a bug in our components. This is why we logged it in our backlog system and set its priority to match the priority of a customer report. As a small sign of appreciation we updated your Telerik account (+500 points).
At the the time of writing we cannot bind to any specific time frame for providing a fix for it.

Thanks very much Pavel.  In the mean time, is there any workaround that we can use, until a proper fix is available?

Hi Joe,

I am afraid there's no applicable workaround for this. Please, accept our apologies for the inconvenience.
