[Solved] DatePicker throws wrong validation

[Tuan Minh]

Hi Kendo Team,

I have a MVC DatePicker as so: 

@(Html.Kendo().DatePicker()
  .Name("FromDate")
  .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 150px" })
  .Min(new DateTime(2013, 01, 01))
  .Value(DateTime.Today.Date)
  .Format("dd MMM yyyy")
  .HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "form-control" })
)

However, whenever I selected a value, it always throws error message "The field ToDate must be a date." This only occurs after I have migrated my solution to Kendo 2016.3.1028. At first I thought it was due to culture info but kendo culture is set to "en-SG" which should take the format "dd MMM yyyy".

Thank you,

Minh Pham.

Hello Tuan Minh,

The datepicker does not have its own validation. Which validator are you using? The Kendo Validator or the jQuery validation? If you are using the Kendo Validator then you should either use a Kendo culture that contains the format used for the datepicker or the approach demonstrated here. If you are using the jQuery validation then you should override the validator date method as demonstrated here.
