Access to date field

[Koren]

I am trying to access a date field from the grid to pass to a dropdown filter read action.  However, all I get is null in the results.  If I debug, I can see the date is the long version of 1/1/2013 which is correct but the value ends up null.  What am I doing wrong?

VIEWMODEL

[Display(Name = "In Service Date")]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
[Required]
public DateTime InServiceDate { get; set; }

VIEW  (correctly displays 01/01/2013 in the grid)

columns.Bound(p => p.InServiceDate).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").Title("Date").Width(100);

model.Field(p => p.InServiceDate).DefaultValue(Model.DefaultInServiceDate);

Filter for dropdown (other fields work fine but date field is always null)

function filterTaxClassBookMethods() {
        var row = $("#TaxClassBookMethod").closest("tr");
        var grid = $("#TaxClassBookMethod").closest("[data-role=grid]").data("kendoGrid");
        var dataItem = grid.dataItem(row);

        var inServiceDate = dataItem.InServiceDate;

        return { depreciationBookID: 1002, assetClassID: dataItem.AssetTransactionCode.AssetClassID, inServiceDate: inServiceDate };
    }

Hello Koren,

From the provided information it's not clear for us what is the exact configuration of the Grid that you are using - could you please provide the complete Grid definition (as well as the Model and related editors)? This would help us get better overview of the exact setup that you have. 
Also with current implementation the "TaxClassBookMethod" editor should be visible in order to get the current row dataItem - could you please make sure this editor is available when the "filterTaxClassBookMethods" method is executed?

Note that the other fields from the dataItem work fine.  I get the TaxMethodPreference and AssetClassID without a problem.  I also tried AssetNbr just to see if it worked and it does.  It is only the date field that I can't seem to figure out how to pass.

This is the viewmodel:

public class AddTransactionViewModel

Hi Koren,

I inspected the provided code and everything looking valid. Could you please clarify if the issue that you are experiencing is binding the data on the server side? If this is the case than you can try formatting the date before sending it to the server side as follows:

kendo.format("{0:G}", dataItem.InServiceDate);

That worked.  Thank you!
