Format / ParseFormats doesn't work

[Tegu]

Hello,

I am using a Kendo DateTimePicker in an ASP.Net Core 2 project. The DateTimePicker shows the date properly just in a wrong (probably default) format.

The data is coming from the controller in Json format. The server side object is simple C# DateTime.

The shown date is: http://prntscr.com/kgdnwe
The wished format is for example: yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm

The code of the DateTimePicker:

                        @(Html.Kendo().DateTimePicker()
                              .Name("tbM1Added")
                              .Format("yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm tt")
                              .ParseFormats(new string[]{ "yyyy/MM/dd", "hh:mm tt" })
                              .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%" })
                              )

The js code:

        document.getElementsByName("tbM1Added")[0].value = selectedUser.M1Added;

When I write it on the console it shows:

Fri Oct 20 2017 23:11:50 GMT+0200 (Central European Summer Time)

Can you give me any idea how to achieve the desired datetime format?

Hi Tegu,

I have examined the code and noticed that the value for the input element rendered by DateTimePicker is changed with the JavaScript. In order for the picker to work as expected you need to set the value for it using the value() method. The code for setting the value in the picker would look similar to the following.

$("#tbM1Added").getKendoDateTimePicker().value(selectedUser.M1Added);

Give this code a try and let me know how it works for you.
