[CLOSED] TimeField am/pm in en-US culture

[UnifyEducation]

Hi,
I have multilanguage application, and I have a small problem with TimeField am/pm in en-US culture.
If the culture is en-GB or fr-FR, I get 14:14:00 in server side; but if the cultutre is en-US, I get 2:14 pm
And if I use TimeFrom as a parameter in TestTimeField action, I get error null for this parameter.
Can you tell me how I can work around with this problem?

Here is the test case:

@using System.Globalization
@using System.Threading
@model TimeSpan

@{
    Layout = null;
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
}
 @(Html.X().ResourceManager())
@(Html.X().FormPanel().ID("MyForm").Layout(LayoutType.Form).Title("Test Form")
      .Items(Html.X().TimeField().FieldLabel("Test TimeField").Value(Model)
                 .Format("HH:mm").ID("TimeFrom"))
      .Buttons(Html.X().Button()
                   .Text("Click Me")
                   .DirectEvents(d =>
                       {
                           d.Click.Url = Url.Action("TestTimeField");
                           d.Click.FormID = "MyForm";
                       })))

public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var model = new TimeSpan(14, 14, 14);
            return View(model);
        }

        public ActionResult TestTimeField(FormCollection values)
        {
            string TimeFrom = values["TimeFrom"];
            return new DirectResult(TimeFrom);
        }

Hi @UnifyEducation,

In your scenario a TimeField's time is submitted in its SubmitFormat.
http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.2.1/#...g-submitFormat

By default, it is "t" in .NET date time format string. I.e. it is Short Time format specifier.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...aspx#ShortTime

So, it is different across the en-GB, fr-FR and en-US locales. You can specify some specific SubmitFormat regardless the locale.

If you don't change the default SubmitFormat, then the following approach should work regardless the locale.

public ActionResult TestTimeField(FormCollection values)
{
    TimeSpan time = X.GetCmp<TimeField>("TimeFrom").SelectedTime;
    return new DirectResult();
}

And if I use TimeFrom as a parameter in TestTimeField action, I get error null for this parameter.

Do you use this parameter in the action's signature?

TimeSpan TimeFrom

Thank you for your answer. You can close this thread.
If I use this parameter in the action's signature, so I must do like this:

public ActionResult TestTimeField(DateTime TimeFrom)
        {
            var value = TimeFrom.TimeOfDay;
            return new DirectResult(value );
        }
