Datetime formatting differences on productionserver VS development pc

Question

User-959394753 posted

Hi,

I am developing a app that is making intensive use of Datetime calculations. On my development machine I have my Regional setting on Dutch.

I am hosting my app on a server in the UK. Now when I set in razor a HTML data field with a Datetime value like this: 

data-datum=@Model.LinesList[i].DayList[ii].Datum.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")

On my development machine it renders with "-" between the year, Month and Day component. but on the UK server a "/" is appearing.

Since I am using this Date in Jquery selections, things go very wrong.

Is there a way to force the production server to use the Dutch formatting? Or is there an other trick to make this working?

Hello Rob,

You can use the following middleware in the Startup.cs file for your production:

var supportedCultures = new[]
{
    new CultureInfo("nl-NL"),
    new CultureInfo("en-GB"),
};

app.UseRequestLocalization(new RequestLocalizationOptions
{
    DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture("nl-NL"),
    // Formatting numbers, dates, etc.
    SupportedCultures = supportedCultures,
    // UI strings that we have localized.
    SupportedUICultures = supportedCultures
});

app.UseStaticFiles();
// To configure external authentication, 
// see: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=532715
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseMvcWithDefaultRoute();

Best regards,

Maher
