<kendo-datepicker name="datepicker1"></kendo-datepicker>
Basic Configuration
The DatePicker TagHelper configuration options are passed as attributes of the tag.
@(Html.Kendo().DatePicker()
.Name("monthpicker")
.Start(CalendarView.Year)
.Depth(CalendarView.Year)
.Format("MMMM yyyy")
.Value(DateTime.Now)
)
<kendo-datepicker name="monthpicker" start="CalendarView.Year" depth="CalendarView.Year"
format="MMMM yyyy" value="DateTime.Now">
</kendo-datepicker>
The ParseFormats option is of type string[] and can be assigned either by a ViewBag property or by a property of the model.
@{
ViewBag.ParseDates = new string[] { "MMMM yyyy", "MMMM" };
}
<kendo-datepicker name="datepicker" parse-formats="ViewBag.ParseDates"></kendo-datepicker>
