Setting datetime format in a XamGrid with templatecolumn

Valerie S posted over 13 years ago

Hello,

I recently had a customer with the following issue:

1. I want my Start Date column to be filtered using a Date picker.

2. And also that I want the date format in the column to be displayed as per the Region and Language settings set through the Control Panel.

I have the Start Date column as TemplateColumn in the xamGrid, i am able to filter it using DatePicker, but couldn't change the date format.

I tried using a DateColumn instead of a Template column in my grid,but it adds a datePicker to each cell of the column, which is not what I want.

Sincerely,
Valerie

Hello,

If you need the converter to be aware of changes in the language you could implement a multi-binding that also takes into consideration the language. For an example of how to implement a multibinding in Silverlight please see:

Hi,

Can you please tell me how to force refresh on date format for date columns when language is changed?

With your implementation, these columns will change format only on recreating control or recreating columns

Thanks in advance

Hello,

You can use a converter and specify a ToString() method which is locale aware.
