The Telerik UI DateInput HtmlHelper for ASP.NET MVC is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI DateInput widget.
The DateInput represents an input field that recognizes and formats scheduling values such as dates. It provides separate sections for days, months, years, hours, and minutes, and also supports the customization of date and time formats.
Basic Configuration
The following example demonstrates the basic configuration for the DateInput.
@(Html.Kendo().DateInput()
.Name("dateinput") // The name of the DateInput is mandatory. It specifies the "id" attribute of the widget.
.Value(DateTime.Today) // Set the value of the DateInput.
)
Functionality and Features
- Appearance—You are able to customize the appearance of the DateInput by configuring its size, fill mode, and border radius.
- Floating Label—You can configure a floating label placeholder text for the DateInput. This label will float above that field and remain visible once the user starts interacting with that input.
- Globalization—You can employ globalization which adjusts the date formats (localization) and adapts the component to specific cultures (internationalization and right-to-left support).
- Accessibility—The DateInput is accessible by screen readers and provides WAI-ARIA, Section 508, WCAG 2.2, and keyboard support.
-
Automatic Correction—You can configure whether the component will autocorrect the user's input when the
MinandMaxvalues are set.
