changing the datatype of the kendo grid column from string to date

[Rakesh]

The kendo Grid Column datatype is string

columns.Bound(c => c.StartDate).Title("Start date").Format("{0: dd/MM/yyyy}").Filterable(f => f.Cell(c =>c.ShowOperators(false).Operator("contains").SuggestionOperator(FilterType.Contains)));

I am able to change the datatype of the Kendo Grid column from string to Date.

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

.Model(model =>

    {

        model.Id(p => p.ID);

       model.Field("StartDate", typeof(DateTime));

 })

 

but the issue i am facing is, if the value of the string like "23/03/2020" or "15/06/2021", then no value will be displayed in the cell of the "StartDate" column of the Grid.

please help me to resolve the issue.

Hi Rakesh,

 

Thank you for writing to us.

I am afraid this requirement is not supported. You will need to use custom filter operator to achieve this requirement:

Feel free to give this suggestion a try and let me know how it goes.
