JQuery DatePicker ignores DateFormat

I have a datepicker component in my C# app, which takes its default value from the server through AJAX call. The problem is, it ignores the date format I've defined as a parameter. I looked into the code and it seems that the date format is not set on the settings variable, so JQuery uses the default value (mm/dd/yy).

Here is my code:

$.when(_getUserProfileValue(defValue))
    .done(function (result) {
        // result is 23.07.2015
        // this line shows the correct date and format
        $("#divTest").text(result.d);
       // new Date(res) gives back invalid date, but datepicker shows the result from server
       // without this line, datepicker shows a completely wrong date
       // TODO: format is still ignored
       var aDate = new Date(result.d);
       $calendar.datepicker({
           dateFormat: "dd.mm.yy"
       });
       $calendar.datepicker("setDate", aDate);
   })

Any ideas?

Might be because you have already initialized the datepicker on that element, in that case to update the date format of an existing datepicker use the option method like

$calendar.datepicker('option', 'dateFormat', "dd.mm.yy");
