I want to build a Kendo UI Grid with format date dd//MM/yyyy. However, all questions that I found about this, it were resolved with code Format(\"{0:d}\");. So,
The other solutions were close but no cigar... Here's what worked for me:
columns.Bound(c => c.CreatedDate).ClientTemplate("#= kendo.toString(kendo.parseDate(CreatedDate), 'dd/MM/yyyy') #");
