Html.Telerik().DatePickerFor() not supporting in Version 2010.2.825.235

[Ratna Karthik Chandu M]

I am using the latest version of Telerix MVC "Version 2010.2.825.235" and when using the DataBinding like

<%: Html.Telerik().DatePickerFor(model => model.InventoryTypeTemplateInstance.ActivationDate)%>

In webpage instead of displaying the DatePicker Control ,  it is displaying like below:
  

Activation Date

<div class="t-widget t-datepicker"
id="InventoryTypeTemplateInstance_ActivationDate"><input class="t-input"
id="InventoryTypeTemplateInstance_ActivationDate-input"
name="InventoryTypeTemplateInstance.ActivationDate"
title="InventoryTypeTemplateInstance.ActivationDate" value="9/15/2010"
/><a class="t-link t-icon t-icon-calendar" href="#" tabindex="-1"
title="Open the calendar">select date</a></div>

Hello Ratna Karthik Chandu M,

Currently strongly-typed methods which creates Telerik UI components does not support "<%:" tag. This will be included for the next official release of the Telerik components for ASP.NET MVC.

I will suggest you using DatePicker().Name() or just change server tag "<%:" to "<%=".

Hello Georgi Krustev,
<%= Html.Telerik().DatePickerFor(model => model.InventoryTypeTemplateInstance.ActivationDate)%> is working fine. 

But can u explain me the difference between using server tags "<%:"  and  "<%=" , which server tag should be used in what scenario.

Thank U.
