I have a web form that contains a couple of datepickers but when working in the Swedish language they aren't showing the correct information.

For example, todays date in FullDateTimePattern should read: "den 11 april 2012" but it reads "'11en '11 april 2012'"

The letter D at the beginning is always replaced with the number of the current date, no matter what date format I'm using.

Suggestions?

Hi,

Please post a sample page that demonstrates the problem and we will take a look. Note that if the problem is in your code, then you will need to resolve that yourself since the free support for your order has long expired.

Thanks!

Also - make sure in IIS under .NET Globalization that you change your culture and UI culture to use: Swedish (Sweden) (sv-SE)

Hi,

You cannot use it that way. DatePicker's PickerFormat does not recognize literal string delimiters. So any letter occurs inside the delimiters that matches the special characters will still be processed. You can try to parse the format to remove the literals from the format first. We will also see if we can support that in a future version.

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by "You cannot use it that way.". Are you referring to the Swedish (Sweden) (sv-SE) culture, or the LongDatePattern picker format?

DatePicker.PickerFormat DOES NOT support all delimiters .NET supports. You can take a look of our documentation to see what delimiters are supported (for example, we support "yyyy", "mm", "dd" and such). So if the format you pass in contains any delimiters that the DatePicker does not support, then the result will be different. The default Swedish.LongDatePattern happens to contain literal delimiters (the 'den ' part) which we do not support.

To put it in plain words, the notion that you can pass any valid .NET date format string to DatePicker.PickerFormat is wrong. This is because .NET date format is only implemented on the server side on the server side, whereas for the DatePicker it has to work both on server side and client side. So whatever format has to be implemented by us on the client side in the same manner as .NET implemented on the server side in order for it to work the same way as .NET does. Currently we only implemented the some of it, not all of it.

Hope this clears up.

Thanks
