Question

I use a jquery datepicker in my ASP.NEt Application and I want if the User is from Spania or german I use a other dateformat.

Here is my jquery code:

$(function () {
    $("#txtAbwesenheitBis").datepicker();
    $("#format").change(function () {
        $("#txtAbwesenheitBis").datepicker("option", "dateFormat", $(this).val());
    });
});

How I can use a other dateformat? Or how I can use the german dateformat?

Here is a link where possible formatting options are shown. Just build required formatting string using description.

Upd:
To set a formatting string depending on lable value you may use something like this:

if($("#lbllanguagelabel").text() == "EN")
  { 
    $("#txtAbwesenheitBis").datepicker("option", "dateFormat", 'en-format-string'); 
  } else {
   ...
 }

But note that if your lable has runat=”server”, its id on client side will not be the same as on server side, so you should use $("#<%=lbllanguagelabel.ClientID %>").text() or, what is much simpler, define some unique class for it:

<asp:lable id="lbllanguagelabel" runat="server" CssClass="languageLable"...

and JS:

if($(".languageLable").text() == "EN")
      { 
        $("#txtAbwesenheitBis").datepicker("option", "dateFormat", 'en-format-string'); 
      } else {
       ...
     }
