Initializing the MultiViewCalendar

1. Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC.

2. Create a new action method which renders the view.

       public ActionResult Index()
       {
           return View();
       }
   

3. Add a MultiViewCalendar.

           @(Html.Kendo().MultiViewCalendar()
               .Name("MultiViewCalendar") // The name of the MultiViewCalendar is mandatory. It specifies the "id" attribute of the widget.
               .Min(new DateTime(2010, 1, 1, 10, 0, 0)) // Set the min time of the MultiViewCalendar.
               .Max(new DateTime(2010, 1, 1, 20, 0, 0)) // Set the min date of the MultiViewCalendar.
               .Value(DateTime.Now) // Set the value of the MultiViewCalendar.
           )

          )
        )
        <script>

    .Events(e => e
        .Change(@<text>
          function() {
              // Handle the change event inline.
          }
        </text>)
        .Navigate(@<text>
          function() {
              // Handle the navigate event inline.
