[Parameter]
public string Format { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
String	String.Empty	The format pattern. If it is not set, the short date format is applied.

Remarks

Use the Format property to format the Date Edit’s value in edit mode when the editor is focused, and use the DisplayFormat property to format the editor’s display value when the editor is not focused. If the DisplayFormat property is not set, the Format is applied in display and edit modes.

Refer to the Standard Date and Time Format Strings and Custom Date and Time Format Strings help topics for more information about supported formats.

Date Values

The following example demonstrates how to apply the long date format in display mode and the short date format in edit mode:

<DxDateEdit @bind-Date="@DateTimeValue" DisplayFormat="D" Format="d"></DxDateEdit>

@code {
    DateTime DateTimeValue { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
}

Run Demo: Date Edit - Display Format

Time Values

If you add a time section to the Date Edit, you can also use the Format property to format the time value.

The following example demonstrates how to apply the full date long time format in display mode and the full date short time format in edit mode:

<DxDateEdit @bind-Date="@DateTimeValue" 
            TimeSectionVisible="true" 
            DisplayFormat="F" 
            Format="f">
</DxDateEdit>

@code {
    DateTime DateTimeValue { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
}

Scroll Picker Mode

If the datepicker is displayed as a scroll picker, use the ScrollPickerFormat property to define a date format for each scroll picker part (day, month, and year).

<DxDateEdit @bind-Date="@DateTimeValue" PickerDisplayMode="DatePickerDisplayMode.ScrollPicker" 
            ScrollPickerFormat="dddd MMMM yyyy"></DxDateEdit>

@code {
    DateTime DateTimeValue { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
}
