[Alan Mosley]

I am trying to pass data to the controller using MVC wrappers. But data not being send, controller is executing but data is not passed. am I doing things correctly?
Thanks

var chart = $("#SalesChart").data("kendoChart");
chart.refresh({
    data: { "FromDate": $("#FromDate").data("kendoDatePicker").value(), "ToDate": $("#ToDate").data("kendoDatePicker").value() }
});

​

@code
           Dim SalesChart As Kendo.Mvc.UI.Chart(Of BO.Models.Statistics.SalesTimeSpan) = _
               Html.Kendo.Chart(Of BO.Models.Statistics.SalesTimeSpan).
               Name("SalesChart").Title("Units sold").Series(Sub(series)
                                                                     series.Line(Function(model) model.Value, categoryExpression:=Function(model) model.Period).
                                                                     Aggregate(ChartSeriesAggregate.Avg)
                                                             End Sub).
           CategoryAxis(Function(axis) axis.Date().BaseUnit(ChartAxisBaseUnit.Weeks)).
           DataSource(Function(ds) ds.Read(Function(read) read.Action("getsalesbydate", "statistics", New With {.area = String.Empty})))

           SalesChart.Render()


       End Code

Hi,

The refresh method does not accept additional data as parameter. Your should use the chart dataSource read method instead to pass the values e.g.

var chart = $("#SalesChart").data("kendoChart");
chart.dataSource.read({
   "FromDate": $("#FromDate").data("kendoDatePicker").value(),
   "ToDate": $("#ToDate").data("kendoDatePicker").value()
});

Thanks that worked, I did try that, but I think I left the data: in,
but still I have a problem, the dates from the datepicker are not binging to date objects on the controller. action.
Thanks

Hi again,

Could you share the code for the action method? Also, verify that you are using the same culture on the server and on the client. The client-side culture will be used by default to serialize the dates and numbers and the model binder will not parse the values if the culture is not the same.
