Date Picker and Models

[Julian]

This is going to be a simple one for some one . It does not seem to be passing the value to my Model .

cshtml -

            <div class="demo-section k-content">
                @(Html.Kendo().DatePickerFor(m => m.fromDate)
              .Name("datepicker")
              .Value(DateTime.Today)
              .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%", title = "datepicker" })
                )
            </div>

Model

        [DisplayName("Date From (inclusive)")]
        public DateTime fromDate { get; set; }

Controller 

    fromDate = {1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM}

Hi Julian,

Based on the provided information I assume that the issue is that the date is not sent as expected on the server. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I have examined the provided configuration and I noticed that a name is explicitly set to the datepicker. 

e.g.

  @(Html.Kendo().DatePickerFor(m => m.fromDate)
.Name("datepicker")
.Value(DateTime.Today)
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%", title = "datepicker" })
  )

The above configuration will set the name of the date picker to `datepicker`. Therefore the date will be sent to the server with a key `datepicker` not `fromDate`. 

Have in mind that the DatePickerFor method sets the id and name attributes automatically and you can omit specifying the name explicitly.

Could you please remove the name configuration and let me know if the fromDate field binds as expected?

e.g.

@(Html.Kendo().DatePickerFor(m => m.fromDate)
.Value(DateTime.Today)
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%", title = "datepicker" })
)

Regards,
Georgi
