WPF toolkit DateTimePicker giving incorrectly formated value

I am trying to get DateTimePicker value in dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt format.DateTimePicker code is 

<xctk:DateTimePicker x:Name="startDateTimePicker" Value="{Binding SelectedDate}" 
FormatString="dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt" Width="280" Height="30" Watermark="Select DateTime"/>

I have mentioned the Format string as I want but it's giving me output as MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt. Not getting why this is happening. My system date time is MM/dd/yyyy will that affect the result. If yes, how can I nullify that.

Solution

  • You should set the Format property to Custom for the FormatString to be applied.

    Try this:

    <xctk:DateTimePicker x:Name="startDateTimePicker" Value="{Binding SelectedDate}" 
                     Format="Custom"
                     FormatString="dd\/MM\/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt" Width="280" Height="30" Watermark="Select DateTime"/>
