How do I know it is displaying US or British date Format?? What is the default dateformat?
Q1) How to I convert the date to local locale after detecting the phone is in non-US locale?
Q2) Which event to use after the user has entered the date and to do the conversion?
<toolkit:DatePicker x:Name="beginDatePicker" Margin="0,300,0,0" Width="220" HorizontalAlignment="Left"> </toolkit:DatePicker>
A
DateTimedoesn’t have a locale. Just take theValueproperty, which will be aDateTime, and it should be fine. (What “kind” it will be – unspecified, UTC or local – I’m not sure, but that’s another matter.)I haven’t used this particular control, but I’d certainly expect it to use the current thread’s UI culture and examine the
CultureInfo.DateTimeFormatproperty – then probably check theShortDatePattern– in order to get the most appropriate format for display / input.You should check what happens if you put the emulator/phone into different locales though.
