    [CLOSED] DateTimePicker

    2 Questions:
    1) is there a viable DateTimePicker option that can bind to a .Net DateTime object?
    2) why can't I bind a TimeSpan object to a TimeFields? Get invalid cast when try to retrieve the value

    Model
    [Field(FieldLabel = "Pickup Date", LabelAlign = LabelAlign.Right)]
        public DateTime PickupDate { get; set; }
    View
    X.TimeFieldFor(m => m.PickupTime).Format("HH:mm"),
    Controller
    TimeField tf = this.GetCmp<TimeField>("PickupTime")
tf.SelectedTime' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException'

    Hi @ehmdb,

    Welcome to the Ext.NET forums!

    Do you mean a TimeField under "DateTimePicker"? Yes, we should consider a possibility to support a DateTime to bind to a TimeField. Thank you for the question.

    Please clarify how do you submit it?

    What about this way?

    Apologies, yes I am referring to a TimeFieldFor as follows:

    [Field(FieldLabel = "Pickup Time", LabelAlign = LabelAlign.Right)]
        public TimeSpan PickupTime { get; set; }
    X.TimeFieldFor(m => m.PickupTime).Format("HH:mm"),
    TimeField tf = this.GetCmp<TimeField>("PickupTime");
    submit code is 

    X.Button().Text("Save").PaddingSpec("5 5 5 5 ").MarginSpec("0 10 0 0")
                        .DirectEvents(de =>
                        {
                            de.Click.Url = Url.Action("DirectEventSubmit");
                            de.Click.EventMask.ShowMask = true;
                            de.Click.FormID = "FormOrderEntrySummary";
                        })

    Thank you. I reproduced it with the test case below. We will investigate what we can do.

    View
    @model Work2MVC.Models.BindModel

@{
    var X = Html.X(); 
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Ext.Net.MVC v2 Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    @X.ResourceManager()

    @(X.Button()
        .Text("Save")
        .DirectEvents(de =>
        {
            de.Click.Url = Url.Action("Submit");
            de.Click.FormID = "FormPanel1";
        })
    )


    @(X.FormPanel()
        .ID("FormPanel1")
        .Items(
            X.TimeFieldFor(m => m.PickupTime)
        )
    )
</body>
</html>
    Model
    using Ext.Net.MVC;
using System;

namespace Work2MVC.Models
{
    public class BindModel
    {
        [Field(FieldLabel = "Pickup Time")]
        public TimeSpan PickupTime { get; set; }
    }
}
    Controller
    using System;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Ext.Net;
using Ext.Net.MVC;
using Work2MVC.Models;

namespace Work2MVC.Controllers
{
    [DirectController]
    public class RazorController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View(new BindModel() { PickupTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay });
        }

        public ActionResult Submit()
        {
            TimeField tf = this.GetCmp<TimeField>("PickupTime");
            X.Msg.Alert("PickupTime", tf.SelectedTime).Show();

            return this.Direct();
        }
    }
}
    However, I would suggest you to leverage the following way to retrieve the things from POST.
    public ActionResult Submit(BindModel entity)
{
    X.Msg.Alert("PickupTime", entity.PickupTime).Show();

    return this.Direct();
}

    Ive just made the following commit to the SVN trunk.

    [UPDATE] Now a TimeField can apply a DateTime property from a Model (related to FormPanelFor and TimeFieldFor helpers).

    [UPDATE] Now a Model's TimeSpan property is bound to a TimeField, instead of a TextField. I.e. it doesn't require a "FieldType=typeof(TimeField)" attribute for the Model's property. (related to FormPanelFor and TimeFieldFor helpers)

    Thank you again for the question.

    The issue with 
    X.GetCmp<TimeField>("PickupTime").SelectedTime
    should be fixed in SVN.

    Thank you again for the report.
