Im using a view model as the data source for a grid and i have some date properties
[DisplayName("Start Date")] [DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")] public DateTime StartDate { get; set; } [DisplayName("End Date")] [DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")] public DateTime EndDate { get; set; }
when I display these in the grid they default to US format date. I dont want to have to repeat the format in the grid definition (it kinda defeats the object of data annotations on the model) so how can i make the grid honour the data format in my model ?
Hello Mark ,
Thank you for posting in our forum.
Currently the igGrid does not take into account the DisplayFormat annotation when generating its client-side code.
You can log adding this functionality as a new product idea at <http://ideas.infragistics.com>.
In the meantime you can specify the Format option of the related columns to change the displayed format.
Let me know if you have any questions.
