DateInput in Razor Pages

Razor Pages is an alternative to the MVC pattern that makes page-focused coding easier and more productive. This approach consists of a cshtml file and a cshtml.cs file (by design, the two files have the same name).

You can seamlessly integrate the Telerik UI DateInput for ASP.NET Core in Razor Pages applications.

This article describes how to configure the DateInput component in a Razor Pages scenario.

For the complete project, refer to the DateInput in Razor Pages example.

csthml
@page
@model Telerik.Examples.RazorPages.Pages.DateInput.DateInputGlobalizationModel
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "DateInputGlobalization";
}

@using System.Globalization

@{
    // Set the server culture.
    var culture = CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
}

/* Add the culture script from your local folder or the Kendo CDN. Use the culture variable from above to make sure the server and client cultures match. */
<script src="@Url.Content("https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2020.3.1118/js/cultures/kendo.culture." + culture + ".min.js")"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    // Set the client culture.
    kendo.culture("@culture");
</script>

<div>
    <h4>Enter a date</h4>
    @(Html.Kendo().DateInput()
        .Name("dateinput")
        .Value(DateTime.Today)
    )

    @(Html.Kendo().DateInput()
      .Name("dateinput2")
    )
</div>


<style>
    div {
        text-align: center;
    }
</style>
csthml
@page
@model Telerik.Examples.RazorPages.Pages.DateInput.DateInputGlobalizationModel
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "DateInputGlobalization";
}

@addTagHelper *, Kendo.Mvc
@using System.Globalization

@{
    // Set the server culture.
    var culture = CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
}

/* Add the culture script from your local folder or the Kendo CDN. Use the culture variable from above to make sure the server and client cultures match. */
<script src="@Url.Content("https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2024.4.1112/js/cultures/kendo.culture." + culture + ".min.js")"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    // Set the client culture.
    kendo.culture("@culture");
</script>

<div>
    <h4>Enter a date</h4>
    <kendo-dateinput name="dateinput" value="DateTime.Today">
    </kendo-dateinput>

    <kendo-dateinput name="dateinput2">
    </kendo-dateinput>
</div>


<style>
    div {
        text-align: center;
    }
</style>
cshtml.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages;

namespace Telerik.Examples.RazorPages.Pages.DateInput
{
    public class DateInputGlobalizationModel : PageModel
    {
        public void OnGet()
        {
        }
    }
}

Binding the DateInput to a PageModel Property

To bind the DateInput to a property from the PageModel, follow the next steps:

Add a property to the PageModel that must bind to the DateInput.

Index.cshtml.cs

    public class IndexModel : PageModel
    {
        [BindProperty]
        public DateTime DateCreated { get; set; }

        public void OnGet()
        {
            DateCreated = DateTime.Now; // Assign a value to the "DateCreated" property, if needed.
        }
    }

Declare the PageModel at the top of the page.
C#
```
    @page
    @model IndexModel
```

Bind the DateInput to the property using the DateInputFor() configuration.

HtmlHelper_Index.cshtml
    @page
    @model IndexModel

    @inject Microsoft.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.IAntiforgery Xsrf
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    
    @(Html.Kendo().DateInputFor(m => m.DateCreated))
TagHelper_Index.cshtml
    @page
    @model IndexModel

    @inject Microsoft.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.IAntiforgery Xsrf
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @addTagHelper *, Kendo.Mvc

    <kendo-dateinput for="DateCreated">
    </kendo-dateinput>
