Date Format of FeatureDataForm from the toolkit

Question

Is there a way to control the display of a date field of a FeatureDataForm ?

At the moment it is displayed in a US format ( M/D/Y ) which would be nice to change to lets say d/m/y.

Hello Christos,

Did you get a solution to this issue?

We have a single user who is getting the date appearing in US format rather than Australian format but not sure what the issue is. The result is appearing in ArcGIS but am guess that the cause it somewhere else.

Regards

Dean

Re-opening this cause there is still an issue with the time.

If in the date time field you set the time to lets say 13:00 and then you apply the changes everything is fine.

When though you go back to the same feature there is a different time set.

The difference is the GMT difference that is set for my pc, in my case +10h so the displayed time is 3:00.

I understand that internally the times are probably kept in UTC but should not they be converted back to the local time on display so the set time and later the displayed are the same ?

Thanks for you help.

It is interesting that the validation is done using my Language while the display is not.

Creating a simple wpf app and adding a date time field displays fine without the need to set/change anything. So not sure why I need to do so for the toolkit.

In both cases the CultureInfo is en-AU while the cultureUIInfo is en-us.

Forcing a specific language does not sound right to me so the only option is to set the language at startup so that it respects user settings.
