title: Pass Kendo DatePicker value to Asp.net MVC Controller
body: <p>this is first time i work with KendoUI and found there was no tutorial for my case.</p>
  
  <p>I have a model:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class SelectedDate{
       public DateTime BirthDay {get;set;}
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>First, i have a GET action as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public ActionResult ShowDate(){
     return View(new SelectedDate());
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on ShowDate.cshtml, i used a kendoUI named DatePicker as follow</p>
  
  <pre><code>@model SelectedDate
  
  @(Html.Kendo().DatePickerFor(c =&gt; c.BirthDay ).Format("dd/MM/yyyy").Value(DateTime.Now))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and some button inside form</p>
  
  <p>When i submit this form, model and data parsed into action successfully. But the BirthDay value always was {1/1/0001 12:00:00}</p>
  
  <p>here my Action</p>
  
  <pre><code>[POST]
  public ActionResult ShowDate(SelectedDate model){
         //model.BirthDay = {1/1/0001 12:00:00}
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried too many way, but still incorrect.
  How can i find a solution ?</p>
