[Solved] Telerik Controls and Attributes with Dashes

[Danan]

Im trying to add an Html Attribute to a Telerik DatePicker.  The Html Attribute name is "data-bind".  Since the Telerik API for adding attributes only accepts an object (not a dictionary like mvc html helpers) there is no valid way for me to have the Telerik control render this attribute.  The attribute is needed for KnockoutJS a client side databinding javascript library.  Can we get some support for dictionaries Telerik?

Example)

@Html.Telerik().DatePickerFor(m => m).HtmlAttributes(new {data-bind = "enable:isActive"})

This does not work. :(

Hello Danan,

Our plans are to provide overload for HtmlAttributes method which takes IDictionary for the next official release of Telerik Components for ASP.NET MVC. 

Currently you can overcome this limitation with wiring onLoad client event of the component ( or document ready ) and modify its HTML

Standard MVC3 helpers convert underscores to dashes. Example: @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Foo, new { data_something_something = "value" }) renders as: <input type="text" id="foo" data-something-something="value"/>

Does Telerik have any plans do do the same?

Cheers,
