DateInput Integration

The DatePicker provides integration options with the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC DateInput for the input element it renders.

To use the DateInput as the input element in a DatePicker, enable the DateInput property of the DatePicker.

    @(Html.Kendo().DatePicker()
        .Name("datepicker")
        .DateInput()
        .Value("10/10/2019")
    )

The component also provides the .Format(...) option and it can be leveraged to set the date format, which will be used to parse and format the machine date. Defaults to CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern.
