Are Long Date and Short Date our only Date Format Options?
posted

When setting the date format for the WebDateChooser I only see "Long" and "Short" as acceptable values.

I want to show a short day name and a short date:  "Wed 01/16/08"

Is this possible with the webdatechooser?

Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    The Format defines only date pattern for not-focused state. In input mode WebDateChooser can only use "digit" patterns, and only for all 3 fields (day, month, year).

    Both those patterns are defined by CurrentCulture or they can be customized on level of particular control. For example, set Format="Long" and implement Page.OnLoad by something like below:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      System.Globalization.    CultureInfo ci = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-EN");
      ci.DateTimeFormat.LongDatePattern =     "ddd MM/dd/yy";
      ci.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern =     "MM/dd/yy";
          this.WebDateChooser1.CalendarLayout.Culture = ci;
    }
