Render DateRangePicker from Code behind

DateRangePicker can be rendered from the code behind by initializing the required properties in controller and passing those properties via ViewData or Model to the client side.

The following code illustrates the initialization of DateRangePicker properties in the controller.

c#

//Namespace to get the JavaScript (DateRangePicker) component properties
using Syncfusion.JavaScript.Models;

namespace MvcApplication.Controllers
{
    public class DateRangePickerController : Controller
    {
        // GET: DateRangePicker
        public ActionResult DateRangePickerFeatures()
        {
            //Initializing the DateRangePicker model

            DateRangePickerProperties DateObj = new DateRangePickerProperties();

            //Initializing the datasource and other properties
            DateObj.Width = "300px";
            DateObj.StartDate = "2/2/2018";
            DateObj.EndDate = "2/25/2018";

            //Passing DateRangePicker properties using the ViewData
            ViewData["DateModel"] = DateObj;
            return View();
        }
    }
}

Binding the DateRangePicker properties passed via ViewData from the controller in the client side as below.

cshtml

@{
    Html.EJ().DateRangePicker("searchCustomer",(Syncfusion.JavaScript.Models.DateRangePickerProperties)ViewData["DateModel"]).Render();
}
