ModelBinder Doesn't Recognize Date

Can't Send Start/End Date to Server

When, I save my event the start and end dates don't get posted to the server. I can override the save event and do something like this. 
e.event.start = kendo.toString(e.event.start, "u"); The values are then saved and the records it successfully added to the database.

Why does this happen?

Hi Jaime,

Basically you should use "parameterMap" function of the dataSource transport in order to stringify the current record correctly. Please check the example below:

dataSource: {
    transport: {
        read: {
            url: "Home/Meetings_Read",
            dataType: "json",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            type: "POST"
        },
        update: {
            url: "Home/Meetings_Update",
            dataType: "json",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            type: "POST"
        },
        create: {
            url: "Home/Meetings_Create",
            dataType: "json",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            type: "POST"
        },
        destroy: {
            url: "Home/Meetings_Destroy",
            dataType: "json",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            type: "POST"
        },
        parameterMap: function (options, operation) {
            if (operation === "read") {
                var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
                var result = {
                    start: scheduler.view().startDate(),
                    end: scheduler.view().endDate()
                }
                return kendo.stringify(result);
            }
            return kendo.stringify(options);
        }
    },
