Hi,

The shared calendar used by WebDatePicker by default uses System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture for its culture. If for some reason that culture does not match with actual current culture on server, then application may find shared calendar and modify its culture to any desired value.
Note: if the only datepicker used by an application is located in a template, which instantiated at PreRender, then shared caledar maybe not available at OnLoad or similar event. In this case application may force early creation of shared calendar, regardless if it ever will be used by any possible WebDatePicker. The static method EnsureSharedCalendar was not available in first release and it was added around half year ago. To find calendar the FindSharedCalendar method of WebDatePicker can be used. If application can not find reference to WebDatePicker, then explicit (internal) ID of shared calendar can be used.

Below is example to find shared calendar:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Infragistics.Web.UI.EditorControls.WebDatePicker.EnsureSharedCalendar(this);
  Infragistics.Web.UI.EditorControls.WebMonthCalendar calendar = null;
  // find reference to date picker within your template
  // line below assumes WebDatePicker1 located in form
  Infragistics.Web.UI.EditorControls.WebDatePicker datePicker = this.WebDatePicker1;
  if(datePicker != null)
   calendar = this.WebDatePicker1.FindSharedCalendar();
  if(calendar == null)
   calendar = this.Form.FindControl("_ig_def_dp_cal") as Infragistics.Web.UI.EditorControls.WebMonthCalendar;
  if(calendar != null)
  {
   calendar.Culture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
  }
}

Hi Viktor,

For my webdatechooser control everything working  as expected when I change the browser culture except the "Today:10/10/2011".

If I change the browser language as Spanish all the week names and month name are chnaged to spanish but the label "Today:10/10/2011" is still in English.

Any way to change this label also to the current browserculture

Hi Sapineni,

All culture related setting are coming from CultureInfo object, but it does not contain settings for strings like "Today" or "Today date", so application should adjust that setting manually. In case of WebDateChooser, you should use CalendarLayout.FooterFormat property. Its default value is "Today: {0:d}". You may set it to something like "{0:d}".

In case of WebDatePicker, corresponding property of WebMonthCalendar can be used.

what would be the CalendarLayout  called in case of :WebDatePicker 

<igedit:WebDatePicker ID="date" runat="server" Width="130px" AllowNull="True"
Enabled="True" AutoCloseUp="true" ShowDropDown="False" NullDateLabel="Select End Date"
NullValueRepresentation="DateTime_MinValue" >
<ClientSideEvents ValueChanging="handle_ToDateChanged" InvalidValueEntered="handle_InvalidDateEntered"
Blur="handle_ToDateOnBlur" />

<a:CalendarLayout DayNameFormat="FirstLetter" FooterFormat="" ShowFooter="False" ShowNextPrevMonth="False"
ShowTitle="False">
<CalendarStyle Font-Bold="False" Font-Italic="False" Font-Overline="False" Font-Strikeout="False"
Font-Underline="False">
</CalendarStyle>
<SelectedDayStyle CssClass="SelectedDay" />
<DayHeaderStyle CssClass="DateTimeDayHeader" />
<TitleStyle CssClass="DateTimeTitle" />
<DayStyle CssClass="DateTimeDay" />
</a:CalendarLayout>
</igedit:WebDatePicker>
