I have been trying to make Kendo MVC be able to display dates like "March 5 2013" using Kendo MVC. 

I am also using JQuery Validator. It is very unclear to me how the validator and the date format work together, and I cannot see any documentation for how this works, and can be adjusted. 

Code in the CSHTML file : 

@(Html.Kendo().DatePickerFor(m => m.StartDate).Format("yyyy-MM-dd") 

in my CS m.StartDate is just a .net DateTime object. 

I have found that no matter what, I cannot get the dates to bind correctly in chrome unless I use the date format above (If I do not supply dates in the above format, the date field is blank)

I have added the locale specific scripts, so that doesn't appear to be an issue.

I have also tried applying 

[DisplayFormat(DateFormatString="MMMM dd yyyy")] to the StartDate object being passed through in my model. 

It seems like the Date handling for non locale specific dates in  Kendo is really badly broken - I am hoping that I am missing something. 

Looking at the data being passed to the browser, it appears that it uses the DateFormatString to define how to send the data across the wire, and then relies on the client JavaScript having the correct locale defined so that the two match. This in my opinion is just asking for trouble, and very fragile.

Is there a way that we can define a single format (regardless of locale ) to send across the wire, and the use the displayformat ONLY to display the data?

I have searched the forums, and looked through the documentation, but alas, I cannot see a way to make this work sensibly. 

There does not seem to be a custom date format example anywhere that works :(

Please correct me if I am wrong. 

Hello,

I have some issues with the scheduler:

- I create an event and go back to his edit form right after, if I click on Cancel the event disapears. If I refresh the scheduler the event is still there and I can cancel the event i won't disapear .

I  saw the same problem in another ticket (http://www.telerik.com/forums/events-disappear-after-canceling-the-detail-modal---help) but my event has an ID when I controll it in DEGUB.

- I have the same issue when I create an event and modify it right after. The event will be duplicated. But if I refresh the sheduler after the creation, I can modify it and it won't be duplicated.

I think both issues are linked. Do you have a solution ?

Thank you,

The following is my code for Updating. I have a custom view model that is a combination of 2 sql tables. The updates are processed successfully, but the dirty bit red triangle does not disappear. I have other grids in my solution that are bound directly to a specific sql table and those grids work as expected, the dirty bit disappears on successful updates to the database. What can I do in order to get the dirty bit cleared for my custom view?

Hi,

When I edit an activity in my gantt I have many fields in the popup edit including a multiselect. This multiselect should be different for each activity.

For load the datasource I put the code below in my function Gantt edit :

When I go the first time on my edit activity the list is empty but if I go an second time the list is OK. Then if I go on an other activity, the previous list is displayed.

It's like my list is charge after the display of my popup edit.

I try many things. Like use refresh(), data.read(), put some code in the multiselect Databound... But nothing work!

Do you know how to do it please?

 Thanks for advance

I used the MVC example which works perfect as-is I rewrote to work with a JSON request and it ALSO works fine, however when I try to view the data in a string it is trying to display the OBJECT and not the data inside the object. I ASSUMED that the SelectedData is also in JSON format becuase the MultiSelect datasourse is a JSON object.  

I have an editable grid using InCell as the Edit Mode.  I have one field that is editable.  When that cell gets focus I want it to select the contents of the cell.  So for instance if the cell contains "100" and it gets focus I want the "100" to be selected so that the user can type over it with out having to backspace.   I have tried putting a this.select();  in the onEdit Code when that column is being edited but it isn't working.

Thx for help

I am trying to capture the filter event in my Kendo grid as we are saving grid state in Local storage using Angularjs.  Server-side filter works, but the "filter event" on the grid does not fire.  Is there something more I need to do? Here is a code snippet

              pageSize: 25,
              serverPaging: true,
              serverFiltering: true,
              serverSorting: true
          }),
          width: "100%",
          sortable: true,
          reorderable: true,
          pageable: true,
          columnMenu: false,
          resizable: true,
          filterable: true,
          filter: function(e) {
              if (e.filter == null) {
                  console.log   ("filter has been cleared");
              } else {
                  console.log(e.filter.logic);
                  alert(e.filter.filters[0].field);
                  console.log(e.filter.filters[0].operator);
                  console.log(e.filter.filters[0].value);
              }
          },

you can set save / cancel buttons text buy UpdateText and CancelText of command.Edit()

columns.Command(command => { command.Destroy().Text(" "); command.Edit().HtmlAttributes(new { style = " " }).Text(" ").UpdateText("Сохранить").CancelText("Отмена"); }).Width(100);

what if I need only delete button present in grid? (so user can add or delete items)?

if I remove edit command I will get default button names. If I set command.Edit(). HTMLAttributes display to none I will get no edit button but also I get NO save update buttons in popup

I am using Kendo Spreadsheet for ASP.Net MVC and using it inside the Kendo window.

I need to customize the spreadsheet toolbar to add a custom button (Save) option for the users to save the spreadsheet.

I could see the reference for toolbar customization using Kendo UIJavascript , but not with MVC. Please suggest how to add a custom button in spreadsheet toolbar using MVC.

This seems like it should be fairly simple and yet here I am.

I have a grid with inline editing.  I have set an editor template for a column to have a dropdown list.  This column is bound to a property that is set according to an enum.  All of that works great, and I get a dropdown with the names.

However, it always posts to the database as null.  All I want is the dropdown to show names when editing, post the value when creating or editing, then display the name when just viewing.

I have scoured forums but continue to come up empty.

Model

Enum

EditorTemplate View

I have tried many other things but this is where my code is at the moment.

What am I missing?
