title: Filtering a formatted date column of a Kendo Grid
body: <p>I have this <code>DateTime</code> column in my grid:</p>
  
  <pre><code>column.Bound(c =&gt; c.PaymentMonth).ClientTemplate("#= PaymentMonthString #")
              .Filterable(filterable =&gt; filterable
              .Operators(op =&gt; op.ForDate(d =&gt; d.Clear().IsEqualTo("Equals")))
              .Extra(false).UI("dateFilter"));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>PaymentMonthString</code> is a read-only string property that returns the <code>PaymentMonth</code> in <code>"MMMM yyyy"</code> format.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the <code>dateFilter</code> function for the custom filter UI:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script&gt;
      function dateFilter(e) {
          e.kendoDatePicker({
              format: "MMMM yyyy",
              depth: "year",
              start: "year"
          });
      }
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But, the filter never works, because when you select a date from the filter menu, the current day is used by default as the day part of the date. For example, if you choose March 2016 on 3/14/2016, the date will be 3/14/2016. But, when I filter on a <code>"MMMM yyyy"</code> column, I don't care about the day. All the dates in March 2016 should be included. How do I make that work?</p>
