DateInput wrapper doesn't support nullable DateTime

[Brian]

The DateInput server side wrapper does not appear to work with nullable DateTimes. In the below code, if 'TaxDate' is a nullable DateTime when the page is rendered the control will always display 'month/day/year' (as it does when the value is null) even if the value being passed to it isn't null.

I tried setting the .value() property on the control but it does not accept nullable DateTimes.

 

                @(Html.Kendo().DateInput()
                            .Name("TaxDate")
                            .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:100%;", @class = "autoSelectText" })

 

From the demo page it looks as if null is a supported state, does the server side wrapper not support it?

 

Thanks,

Brian

Hello Brian,

I am afraid that currently the DateInput works with DateTime only. I have logged an issue and the developers should add the improvement to the component as soon as possible. You can monitor the status of the issue in the link below.
