Date format is changing while fetching data using

Question

I am trying to fetch and load data to a kendo grid using some parameters. But when I am using date parameter, format of date is changing hence showing me wrong dates in server side.

As an example as a parameter I am using: new Date("April 01, 2016"). But in server side it becomes 04/01/2016 which is wrong.

function passFilterCstDetails() {

        var statemenetInquiryParameter = {};

        statemenetInquiryParameter.isPrintZero = true;
        statemenetInquiryParameter.isPrintPayments = true;
        statemenetInquiryParameter.isPrintAdjust = true;
        statemenetInquiryParameter.cst_stmt_from = new Date("April 01, 2016");
        statemenetInquiryParameter.cst_stmt_to = new Date("April 12, 2016");
        statemenetInquiryParameter.customerCode = 007;

        return {
            statemenetInquiryParameter: statemenetInquiryParameter
        }
    }

<div class="row">
                    <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12">

Answer 1

I too had this problem, i solved it by checking the data format at the time of saving.

1- find the data while saving

 var dataS = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource;
 var updatedData = dataS._data;

2- check the format and then save it, my data parameter is rsrc_dt

    var dateValue = updatedData[i].rsrc_dt;
    var day; var year; var mon;
    if (typeof dateValue === 'string' || dateValue instanceof String) {
    day = dateValue.split('/')[0];  // use when date is not in correct string format
    mon = dateValue.split('/')[1];
    year = dateValue.split('/')[2];
    var dateS = day + '/' + mon + '/' +year;
    serverData[i].rsrc_dt = dateValue;
    }
    else if (dateValue instanceof Date) {
    var date = new Date(updatedData[i].rsrc_dt);
    year = date.getFullYear();
    day = date.getDate();
    day = day < 10 ? '0' + day : day
    mon = date.getMonth();
    mon = mon + 1;
    mon = mon < 10 ? '0' + mon : mon;
    var dateF = day + "/" + mon + "/" + year;
    serverData[i].rsrc_dt = dateF;
    }

3- You may try this also, give format of data in field template like this one

     { field: "rsrc_dt", title: "Session Date", format: "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", editor: dateTimeEditor, width: 73, attributes: { "class": "azN" }, },

4- Use DateEditor

  function dateTimeEditor(container, options) {
  $('<input name="editableBlock" data-text-field="' + options.field +    '" data-value-field="' + options.field + '" data-bind="value:' + options.field + '" data-format="' + options.format + '"/>')
            .appendTo(container)
            .kendoDatePicker({ min: btch_strt_dt });

}
