Date format is not working

[hash]

Hi all, 

Here is my kendo grid declaration in the cshtml

 columns: [
                    { field: "MemberFirstName", title: "Member<br/>First Name" },
                    { field: "MemberLastName", title: "Member<br/>Last Name" },
                    { field: "ClientMemberID", title: "Client<br/>Member ID" },
                    { field: "ProviderID", title: "Provider ID" },
                    { field: "ProviderFirstName", title: "Provider<br/>First Name" },
                    { field: "ProviderLastName", title: "Provider<br/>Last Name" },
                    { field: "AppointmentDate", title: "Appointment<br/>Date" }
                 ],
My last column is a date time column, i want to show only date value not the time. 

I can see the data that i am binding and its clearly a date time value, When i see it in the UI, i see it as /Date(1331166600000)/

any one had this issue before?

I tried the following ways

template: '#= kendo.toString(AppointmentDate,"dd MMMM yyyy") #' 
format: "{0:dd/MMMM/yyyy}"

None of the above two methods worked for me.

Hi,

 As you may know in order date to be formatted they should be a JavaScript Date instance. The DataSource will automatically convert the .NET Date literals, as the one you are using, if the field type is correctly described in the schema model definition. Therefore, please make sure you have such definition set.

All the best,

My model is Entity framework object, do i have to define agian in the JavaScript? 

Where can i define it in the code i mentioned in the first post.

Hi,

It appears from the snippet you have provided that you are using KendoUI Web and instantiating the Grid widget via JavaScript. In this case in order fields to be parsed to the specified type, you will need to described the Model in the schema declaration as I have already mention in my previous message. Please take a look at this online demo.

Rosen,

If you good see your documentation : http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/local-data.html

Go check the ASP.NET MVC. The grid sample and the code it's not the same.

Thank you
