Apologize for the delay in sending this.

I will have this forwarded to WebGrid development team to be investigated further. Should I hear any news regarding this, I will let you know.

Reason: Update information

I created a simple sample of one-row WebGrid and an HTML button. It has four columns: EmployeeID; FirstName; LastName; and HireDate. When user clicks the button, it invokes following JavaScript function.

...
var selectedRow = selectedObject.ToRowObject(); // return WebGridRow object
var cells = selectedRow.GetCells();
alert(cells.GetNamedItem("HireDate").Value);
...

The sample worked smoothly and the datetime cell was accessed without any issues.

The sample is enclosed as attachment, DateTimeColumnSample.zip. Please have the sample evaluated on your end and let us know if you have different result. For your information, I’m using WebGrid 8 build 258 and WebUI.NET Framework build 911.

Hi, can you send me your entire sample project.

Since WebGrid 8 you are you are not copying text of cell directly to value, but if its date you are goin Value= new Date(cellText).

And that doesnt works well with hr-hr culture.

The entire sample project is uploaded in here.

Please kindly have the sample downloaded and evaluated on your end and let us know if you have different result.
