Hello, I am using a datagrid in which one of the columns is a TemplateColumn that shows a date. I want to format this date to the appropriate date according to the client's timezone. For that, i have to call a javascript function which uses "getTimezoneOffset" function to calculate the client's date and time. This is the part of the code where i need to format the data: Is it possible to call a javascript function when building the table? Thanks, Dana

No, it's not possible. The datagrid columns are rendered on the server and the client's time is not available. You need to get current time on the client side and format it using javascript but I don't know exactly how. You have to look in a JS reference. Have in mind that browsers do some kind of localization according to the client's settings. This can be a serious obstacle when you have to interpret data recieved from the client but sometimes helps.
