[CLOSED] Version 1.2 Grid/Store DateFormat

[ndotis]

Hello

On Version 1.2, why the date fields are not displayed/rendered on the grid.
Here is how we declared the field on the store.

<ext:RecordField Name="EntryDate" DateFormat="yyyy-MM-ddTh:i:s" Type="Date" />

I guess it's the same issue on the EXT.NEt examples landing page (Recent SVN Commits), date column is blank.
If we remove the "DateFormat" field from the above "Ext:RecordField", then the datefield/column is rendered correctly.
What's the right way of doing??

Thanks for the report. We are investigating.

Please try using an <ext:DateField> Column type and let me know if it renders correctly for you.

Example

<ext:DateField Name="EntryDate" DateFormat="yyyy-MM-ddTh:i:s" />

Hi,

You don't need to define DateFormat for the field if you bind Date in the page
DateFormat should be 'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.u' (1.2 version serialize data with milliseconds)

Looks like on version-1.2, "Date" is serialized differenetly, if i change the dateFormat
from

<ext:RecordField Name="AccessTimeStamp" DateFormat="yyyy-MM-ddTh:i:s"  Type="Date" />

to

<ext:RecordField Name="AccessTimeStamp" DateFormat="yyyy-MM-ddTh:i:s.u"  Type="Date" />

works correclty.
or need to remove the "DateFormat" attribute from the "ext:RecordField".

Defining the column as "<ext:DateColumn" didn't work..

<ext:DateColumn Header="Opening Date" Format="yyyy-MM-ddTh:i:s" DataIndex="OpenningDate" Width="95" />

Either way it's a big change, it looks like a bug to me..

Hi,

1. Do not specify DateFormat in the RecordField if it is not required. I don't see any sense to define DateFormat in your case
2. As I mentioned in previous post, 1.2 serializes milleseconds therefore format of serialized date is "yyyy-MM-ddTh:i:s.u"
3. Format property of DateColumn for converting date to string only (to display date as required), it is not used during date parsing by reader

it looks like a bug to me

Can you provide more details? What do you consider as bug?

Somehow we got into habit of defining the "DateFormat" even though it's not required on "<ext:RecordField"
On version 1.2 date serialization changed, all our code broke.
I guess now we need to goback and fix our code/mistakes. :(
