Datepicker start date not same as model date

[Baldvin]

Hi,

I have this in my view:

@(Html.Kendo().DatePickerFor(model => model.Date).Min(DateTime.Now).Value(@Model.Date).Events(e => e.Change("updateDatePicker")))

Initially, when you look at the datepicker, it shows you the correct date. But when I click it, it opens with today's date selected instead of the date of my model. For example, the date in my model is july 9th 2016 but when I open the datepicker it opens with march 10th 2016 selected.

I have searched a lot but haven't found a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Solved by using .Events(e => e.Open("onOpen"))

and then in onOpen I do it manually
