I'm working on Asp.net MVC3 application with KendoUI. Database is MySql.
Its a sample movie application.
This is my model:-
public int Movie_ID { get; set; }
        public string Movie_Name { get; set; }
        public Nullable<System.DateTime> Release_Date { get; set; }
        public string Movie_Type { get; set; }
        public string Movie_Cert { get; set; }
        public string Movie_Poster { get; set; }
        public string Movie_Budget { get; set; }
        public bool Awards { get; set; }

This is the view:-
<h2>Add a Movie:-</h2>

<br/>
@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "New_Movie",FormMethod.Post, new { id = "uploadForm", enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
    <fieldset>
<label class="k-label">Movie Name:</label>
<div class="k-textbox">
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Movie_Name)
</div>

<br/>
<br/>
<label class="k-label">Release Date:</label>
@(Html.Kendo().DatePickerFor(m => m.Release_Date)

        .Name("Release_Date")

   )

<br/>
<br/>

<label class="k-label">Movie Type:</label>

    @(Html.Kendo().ComboBoxFor(m => m.Movie_Type)
    .Name("Mov_Type")
    .Placeholder("Select Type...")
    .BindTo(new string[]
                {"Action",
                "Comedy",
                "Documentary",
               "Suspense Thriller"}
)
)
<label class="k-label">Movie Budget:</label>
      @(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m.Movie_Budget)
                    .Name("Budget")
                    .BindTo(new string[] {
                              "1 to 25 crores",
                              "26 to 50 crores",
                              "51 to 75 crores",
                              "above 76"
                          })
)
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />

       </fieldset>
}

Now when i submit this page to the controller create()

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Create( movie_master movie_record)
        {
                 using (var insert = new moviesEntities())
                {
                    insert.movie_master.Add(movie_record);
                    insert.SaveChanges();
                }
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }
the model object movie_record contains Movie_Type=null and Movie_Budget=null.
The Kendo datapicker returns the date value selected.
What am i doing wrong ? Please help me.

Hi ,
I have no problems with Kendo datepicker, its just the combo box and dropdown dat return null values could you please write down a sample view for these controls.
As I feel dat I may be going wrong in the bindto:-
@(Html.Kendo().ComboBoxFor(m => m.Movie_Type)

    .Placeholder("Select Type...")
    .BindTo(new SelectList(new string[]
                {"Action",
                "Comedy",
                "Documentary",
                "Romance",
                "Suspense Thriller"}
    ))
    .SelectedIndex(1)
    .Suggest(true)
        )
Thanks in adv
