DateTime null in ActionResult

[Fabio]

Hi,

I'm trying to pass a DateTime value (Start_Date) to an ActionResult used by a template, but seems it is always null (other arguments string and int format are ok), changing type from dateTime to string seems to work, the value is a not null datetime string version but I would like to use directly the datetime, any suggestion?

 

(index.cshtml)

            columns.Bound(p => p.Start_Date).Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}");
            columns.Template(@<text></text>).ClientTemplate(
                                    "<a href='" +
                                         Url.Action("Details", "Data_Values") +
                                         "/?ContactID=#=Contact_ID#&SerialNumber=#=Serial_Number#&StartDate=#=Start_Date#'" +
                                    ">Details</a>").Width("100px");

(controller Data_ValuesController)

public ActionResult Details(int? ContactID, DateTime? StartDate, String SerialNumber)
        {

[...]

Hi Fabrizio,

I would suggest you convert the Date to n ISO string and send it this way as a part of the query parameters:

columns.Template(@<text></text>)
	.ClientTemplate(
		"<a href='" + Url.Action("Details", "Home") +
		"/?SerialNumber=#=Serial_Number#&StartDate=#=Start_Date.toISOString()#'" +
		">Details</a>")
	.Width("100px");

Attached you will find a small sample implementing the above. Note that in order to test it, you will need to include the Kendo.Mvc.dll.
