Setting Value date incorrectly

[Rob ONeill]

Hi,

I am trying to set the DatePicker Value through a ViewModel binding but the date is getting set incorrectly. If the date is say 01/04/2015 (1st April 2015) it is getting rendered as 4th January 2015. I can see that the datetime that gets passed through to the control is correct but the resulting date in the control has been rendered incorrectly. Can you tell how to render the date correctly. See my code i using below.

View

@model Portal.Web.Areas.Reporting.Controllers.DateSettings

@{

    ViewBag.Title = "Reporting";

    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";

}

<h2>Reporting View</h2>

@Html.EJ().DatePicker("StartDatePicker").Value(Model.StartDate)

Controller

    public class HomeController : Controller

    {

        // GET: Reporting/Home

        public ActionResult Index()

        {

            var dateSettings = new DateSettings();

            dateSettings.StartDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7);

            return View(dateSettings);

        }

    }

    public class DateSettings

    {

        public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }

        public DateTime EndDate { get; set; }

    }

Cheers .... Rob.

Hi Rob,

We have analyzed your query with the provided code.We are unable to reproduce the specified issue “date value is setting incorrectly”.We would like to let you know that,our date picker control default date format is mm/dd/yyyy so that the date displays as “4/1/2015”.While working with your code the datetime is passed in controller as “4/1/2015” (1^st April).That is the date value displays in datepicker control rendering.If you want to change the date format displays as “01/04/2015”,we have a property dateformat, By setting the dateformat as “dd/MM/yyyy”, we can displays the date format as “01/04/2015”(1^st April,2015).Please find the code for setting the dateformat,


<code>

@Html.EJ().DatePicker("StartDatePicker").Value(Model.StartDate).DateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy")

</code>

Hi Kasithangam,

I have downloaded your sample, and I get the same results as mine. If in the controller I pass in April 1st it gets rendered as January 4th. I think this is down to my computer's date / time settings which are en-GB (UK). The DateTime I am passing though the controller is 1st April and even on a break point on the cshtml page I can see the Model.StartDate is 1st April. I am wondering how your control takes this date to convert it. I think for you to see this you need to change your computer settings to UK if possible.

We have got around this by using Model.StartDate.ToLongDateString() but there is definitely a bug there as running your sample we still get the same error.

Cheers ... Rob.
