Here is how my code looks on a MVC app.
<body> @Html.Kendo().Calendar().Name("calendarstart").Value(DateTime.Now) <button id="save">Set date</button> <script> $(document).ready(function () { $("#save").click(function () { var startDate = $("#calendarstart").data("kendoCalendar"); $.post("/Home/Index", { StartDate: startDate.value() }); }); }); </script></body>
The issue i see is that their is no tight binding like what you have on MVC view model binding.
