when posting DateTime is 01/01/0001

[knilecrack]

Hello,

I was experimenting with your library in order to replace my custom built components for DatePicker.

What I was expecting is inside a form if I have something like this:

<ejs-datepicker id="datepicker" action="@Model.NoviKlijent.DatumRodjenja" format="dd.MM.yyyy" placeholder="Enter date"></ejs-datepicker>

Displaying is working fine as you can see in attachment-1.png

but the issue with this is when I'm posting the form I'm getting wrong date parsed. Results are included in attachment2

I have also followed docs: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetcore/documentation/datepicker/globalization/

and I have included sr-Latn culture in a

Hi Knilecrack, 

  

Greetings from Syncfusion support. 

  

We have validated the reported issue "While post, data received default value of DateTime type “01/01/0001” in controller" caused due to both server and client machine have a different date format. Because of this (“month and date order mismatch”), DatePicker component returns the value default value of the DateTime type “01/01/0001” in the POST action.     

  

By default, the component rendered with “en-us” culture with “MM/dd/yyyy” date format. But (your) the machine configured with different culture with different date format.  

  

During post-back time the date value sent as component date format value. In Server-side, the machine expects the date format as “dd/MM/yyyy” format. Both are mismatched so that the value was returned as 01/01/0001.  

  

In this case, we can override this case by setting the locale property as per your culture or setting the date format equivalent of your culture date format in the sample level.  

  

If you are using form post, date format set based on the globally defined culture (by default, en- US). So, we suggest you use the below work around solution in the Startup.cs file in your application to get the date value as per the defined format at your end.  

  

Also, we suggest you to define the date value type as DateTime nullable as mentioned in the below code snippet. 

  

   public Startup(IConfiguration configuration) 

        { 

            Configuration = configuration; 

            var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("sr"); 

            cultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd.MM.yyyy"; 

            CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = cultureInfo; 

            CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = cultureInfo; 

        } 

public class DatePicker 

    { 

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter the value")] 

        public DateTime? value { get; set; } 

    } 

 

  

For your convenience, we have prepared the sample and attached it below.

Hello Christopher,

Your approach does it. I thought I would get away without changing the culture, but I guess I will have to do it.

Thank you

Hi Knilecrack, 

  

Yes, we need to define the culture in the application when using the different format and culture.
