+
+## Description
+
+This KB article answers the following questions:
+* How can I change the first day of the week in the DatePicker?
+* Is it possible to set a different day as the start of the week from the default one in the Telerik DatePicker for Blazor?
+* What steps should I follow to modify the start of the week in a DatePicker component?
+
+## Solution
+
+To set the start of the week to a different one in the Telerik DatePicker for Blazor, override the `FirstDayOfWeek` property of the current culture in your application. Follow the steps below to implement this solution:
+
+1. Include the necessary namespaces for [globalization]({%slug globalization-formats%}) in your component.
+2. Add the Telerik DatePicker component to your razor page.
+3. Override the `OnInitialized` method to change the current culture's `FirstDayOfWeek` to the desired one.
+
+````CSHTML
+
+@using System.Globalization
+
+
+
+@code {
+ private DateTime Date { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
+
+ protected override void OnInitialized()
+ {
+ var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("en-US");
+ cultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.FirstDayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Monday;
+ CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
+ CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
+ }
+}
+````
+
+By setting the `FirstDayOfWeek` property to `DayOfWeek.Monday`, the DatePicker will start the week with Monday based on the modified culture settings.
