XAF datetime format 'dd/MM/yyy'

I would like to have dates in "dd/MM/yyyy" format so:
I changed the EditMask and the DisplayFormat propertiesof a datetime view column in the Model.DesignedDiffs.xafml, as you can see in the attached file.
In Explorer it seem fine but in chrome it doesn't look good, The format is ' MM/dd/yyyy'.

I also tried to add it to the ORMDataModelCode:

C#
DateTime fStartDate;  
        [Persistent(@"Start Date")]  
      <bold>  [Custom("DisplayFormat", "dd/MM/yyyy")]  
        [Custom("EditMask", "dd/MM/yyyy")]</bold>  
        public DateTime StartDate  
        {  
            get { return fStartDate; }  
            set { SetPropertyValue<DateTime>("StartDate", ref fStartDate, value); }  
        }

But it doesn't correct the issue in chrome.

Hello Miri,
Use the ModelDefaultAttribute instead of the Custom one for this task.
Or alternatively customize the DefaultEditMask and DefaultDisplayFormat attributes for the View Items | PropertyEditors | System.DateTime node in the Model Editor. I hope this helps.

I have just noticed that your display format string is wrong. I have attached a screenshot of the correct format to my original answer. In addition, I suggest you refer to MSDN or http://documentation.devexpress.com/#Xaf/CustomDocument2754
for more information on formatting. I hope this helps.

DevExpress don't just say use blah, show how to use blah. Few lines of useful sample code will not hurt you, I hope.
