Time Zone Offset not sent to server

[Paul Schaeflein]

When the DateTimePicker control is used, the selected date and time are sent to the server without time zone information. For example,

Schedule.StartDate=4%2F25%2F2017+2%3A00+PM

How should the control be used to instruct it to send the time zone offset of the browser as part of the form data?

Hi Paul, 

Sorry for the delay, 

How should the control be used to instruct it to send the time zone offset of the browser as part of the form data? 

You can achieve your requirement by changing the date value before post to controller, 

Please refer the below code example, 

@Html.EJ().DateTimePicker("endDate").Value(Model.endDate) 

 

function changeValue(args) { 

        var dateValue = new Date($("#endDate").val()); 

        dateValue.setTime(dateValue.getTime() + dateValue.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000); 

        $("#endDate").val(dateValue); 

    } 

Here we have changed the value of DateTimePicker control value based on needs manually in submit button click event (in view's script section ). Also in model We have maintained the DateTimePicker value’s member(endDate) in models as string Data Type to achieve this solution. 

Please check with the given solution. If we misunderstood requirement or if still you are facing any issue,  please provide more information  which will help us to provide the exact solution. We will be happy to help you.
