Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC DateTimePicker Overview

The Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC DateTimePicker component allows you to manually input date and time or to select them from a dropdown calendar and a list of time options. The DateTimePicker component supports templates, configurable options for minimum and maximum date and time, start view and the depth of the navigation.

The current example displays a generic use-case scenario for a DateTimePicker component which aims to demonstrate a natural feel and seamless navigation for the end users.

The Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC DateTimePicker component is part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC, a professional-grade UI library with 110+ components for building modern and feature-rich applications. The UI for ASP.NET MVC DateTimePicker is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI for jQuery DateTimePicker component and supports an HtmlHelper mode.

This DateTimePicker example is part of a unique collection of hundreds of ASP.NET MVC demos, with which you can see all Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC components and their features in action. View the source code of the demos from the library or directly adapt, and edit their theme appearance in ThemeBuilder.
