I have noticed an error when trying to bind Date properties to the Kendo grid if the property is defined on a sub property of my model class:

Ex:

columns.Bound(p => p.SomeProperty.SomeDate)

For some reason if I define the date like above it will not render out as a Date, but as the JSON representation of the Date
EX: /Date(-62135578800000)/

The interesting part is that is works fine if I define the date property directly on the model like this:

columns.Bound(p => p.SomeDate)

I am using the Kendo server wrapper for Asp.Net MVC

Hello Tor,

Indeed nested properties are not parsed as DateTime. I could suggest you to set template which parses the date so it is displayed as actual date.
Here an example:

columns.Bound(p => p.SomeProp.Date).ClientTemplate("#=kendo.format('{0:d}', kendo.parseDate(SomeProp.Date))#");

Keep in mind that filtering/sorting/grouping on this field will continue to be applied over that unparsed value.
