would be great if invisible DateTimePicker could be leveraged as a Date library

[Tim R]

I am working with lots of dates and datetimes and times sent back from the database server  and it would be very helpful to have a powerful date math library in the web client comparable to what we have in T-SQL on the server (DateDiff, DateAdd, DatePart, etc etc).
Such a library would eliminate a lot of string-parsing for the developer. The DateTimePicker already has a lot of relevant date, date-formatting, and globalization intelligence built-in. Add a few of the T-SQL style datemath functions and voila, the most powerful javascript date library.

Hello Tim Romano,

Thank you for the feedback!

I suggest you to actually share this idea on our Kendo UserVoice page where users can vote for it. We will consider improving the suite in that direction.

Meanwhile you can search the internet for third party libraries which provide such kind of functionality.

Kind Regards,

I have run out of "suggestion points" or whatever they're called.  I spent most of my points on posts about group collapse/expand UI state.

Hello again Tim,

It seems that you have reached your limit with the suggestion points. I am afraid that the only way to create new idea is to "un-vote" some idea that you have previously voted.
