Hi,

I am currently following the advice in this thread http://www.telerik.com/forums/using-datetimeoffset-in-column-filter in order to display datetimeoffset data in a grid. My questions are:

1) Are there plans to implement native support for the datetimeoffset type? It is a useful type for uniquely identifying a point in time above what datetime offers, so would be a useful type to support. The current solution seems a bit of a hack and native support would be much better.

2) Do I need to add any additional code to support columns sorting of datetimeoffsets as well as filtering? At present I am converting the datetimeoffsets to datetimes in my viewmodel to get around this issue.

My current code is as follows. The MapFilters function is as in the previous post. Should I be implementing a MapSorts function too? If so what would this look like?

Regards,

Michael
public ActionResult LogEntries_Read([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)
{
    try
    {
        using (var db = new SysLogContext())
        {
            // convert datetimeoffsets to datetimes in the filters and sorts since Kendo does not support datetimeoffset
            if (request.Filters.Any())
            {
                request.Filters.MapFilters(descriptor =>
                {
                    if (descriptor.Member == "Date")
                    {
                        descriptor.Value = new DateTimeOffset((DateTime) descriptor.Value);
                    }
                });
            }

Hello Michael,

Adding support for DateTimeOffset is not currently planned. I can suggest to submit a feature request in our user voice forum.
No additional code should be required to handle the sorting because no value is posted for the sort operation.
