Hi ..

i have set the following in my web.config file but they are not taken effect or recognised .. basically i have a gridview and there is a column which has dates in it . and i would like it to take the format inthe web.config file.. can anyone help on this ?

here is what is in the web.config

<system.web>

<globalization
    requestEncoding="utf-8"
    responseEncoding="utf-8"
    culture = "en-au"
    uiCulture = "en-au" />
</system.web>

 Try below one,

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" 
               responseEncoding="utf-8" 
               fileEncoding="" 
               culture="en-au" 
               uiCulture="en-au" 
               enableClientBasedCulture="false" 
               responseHeaderEncoding="utf-8" 
               resourceProviderFactoryType="" 
               enableBestFitResponseEncoding="false" />

Hi,

i tried this and didnt change

i use a few usercontrols and in the code-behind i have the following

this.actData.Locale = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-AU");

i set the globalization in the web config to german just to see if the date format would be different and no change.. Do i need to set it in regional settings under windows and take out the line above from the code ?

thanks

Also, you need to set uiCulture to "auto" for the browser settings to be used.
