Date Picker

[Scott]

Hello,

I am having trouble with rendering a DatePicker.  When I use test data with a date format of 07/18/2013 the datepicker renders correctly.  When I get data from a web service call from a MySQL database the format is 2013-07-18 00:00:00 when retrieved using a SQL statement from phpMyadmin.  The date returned from as JSON is formatted as a JSON date /Date(1374120000000-0400)\.  When I use the JSON date the DatePicker does not render and instead shows a date Thu Jul 18 2013 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time).  What step(s) am I missing that will allow me to correctly render the DatePicker with the JSON formatted date?

Hi Scott,

The Kendo UI DatePicker will only accept a valid JavaScript date object. This is why I would suggest you to parse the JSON date, which is using the Timestamp format (milliseconds since january 1 1970), into a JavaScript date object using new Date() and then pass this object to the DatePicker.

For your convenience here is a jsBin example which demonstrates a possible implementation.
