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;}

Thank goodness for this!! I've just put our app on the production server in the USA and all the dates have switched (not surprisingly) to USA format. I knew that the WebDateChooser only had short and long. For one heartstopping moment, I thought this was a show stopper!
