title: Kendo TimePickerFor Not Binding to ViewModel When using TimeSpan MVC
body: <p>I have an application that warrants the need for users to supply a "best fit time of day" for a particular day of week.  I am trying to represent that time of day as the timespan object in C# (just as the DateTime.TimeOfDay object does)  I don't need the date, but also don't want to use datetime and have the user see an actual date.</p>
  
  <p>Right now i have this in my model:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[Required, Display(Name = "Start")]
      public TimeSpan StartTime { get; set; }
      [Required, Display(Name = "End")]
      public TimeSpan EndTime { get; set; }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have this for part of my view:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="form-group col-xs-6 col-lg-4"&gt;
      @Html.LabelFor(m =&gt; m.StartTime, new { @class = "control-label" })
      @(Html.Kendo().TimePickerFor(m =&gt; m.StartTime).Interval(15).Culture("en-Us").HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "form-control" }))
      @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m =&gt; m.StartTime)
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="form-group col-xs-6 col-lg-4"&gt;
      @Html.LabelFor(m =&gt; m.EndTime, new { @class = "control-label" })
      @(Html.Kendo().TimePickerFor(m =&gt; m.EndTime).Interval(15).Culture("en-Us").HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "form-control" }))
      @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m=&gt;m.EndTime)
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I keep getting this model error using the MVC ModelState:</p>
  
  <p>ErrorMessage = "The value '1:00 PM' is not valid for Start."</p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, intellesense says that the kendo widget supports a timespan for it's input, but why isn't this actually binding to the view?</p>
  
  <p>i have seen this article: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22986296/kendo-timepickerfor-formatting-not-working">Kendo Timepickerfor formatting not working</a></p>
  
  <p>It's not quite what i'm looking for, because i feel like there should be a more simple way to represent a time of the day that is unrelated to the actual date...
  Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
