Kendo grid date column not formatting

Solution 1:

I found this piece of information and got it to work correctly. The data given to me was in string format so I needed to parse the string using kendo.parseDate before formatting it with kendo.toString.

columns: [
    {
        field: "FirstName",
        title: "FIRST NAME"
    },
    {
        field: "LastName",
        title: "LAST NAME"
    },
    {
        field: "DateOfBirth",
        title: "DATE OF BIRTH",
        template: "#= kendo.toString(kendo.parseDate(DateOfBirth, 'yyyy-MM-dd'), 'MM/dd/yyyy') #"
    },
...

Solution 2:

just need putting the datatype of the column in the datasource

dataSource: {
      data: empModel.Value,
      pageSize: 10,
      schema:  {
                model: {
                    fields: {
                        DOJ: { type: "date" }
                            }
                       }
               }  
           }

and then your statement column:

 columns: [
    {
        field: "Name",
        width: 90,
        title: "Name"
    },

    {
        field: "DOJ",
        width: 90,
        title: "DOJ",
        type: "date",
        format:"{0:MM-dd-yyyy}" 
    }
]

Solution 3:

Try formatting the date in the kendo grid as:

columns.Bound(x => x.LastUpdateDate).ClientTemplate("#= kendo.toString(LastUpdateDate, \"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt\") #");

Solution 4:

This is how you do it using ASP.NET:

add .Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss}"); 

    @(Html.Kendo().Grid<AlphaStatic.Domain.ViewModels.AttributeHistoryViewModel>()
            .Name("grid")
            .Columns(columns =>
            {

                columns.Bound(c => c.AttributeName);
                columns.Bound(c => c.UpdatedDate).Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss}");   
            })
            .HtmlAttributes(new { @class = ".big-grid" })
            .Resizable(x => x.Columns(true))
            .Sortable()
            .Filterable()    
            .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                .Ajax()
                .Batch(true)
                .ServerOperation(false)
                        .Model(model =>
                        {
                            model.Id(c => c.Id);
                        })       
               .Read(read => read.Action("Read_AttributeHistory", "Attribute",  new { attributeId = attributeId })))
            )
