Render DateTimePicker from Code behind

DateTimePicker 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 DateTimePicker properties in the controller.

C#

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

namespace MvcApplication.Controllers
{
    public class DateTimePickerController : Controller
    {
        // GET: DateTimePicker
        public ActionResult DateTimePickerFeatures()
        {
            //Initializing the DateTimePicker model

            DateTimePickerProperties DateObj = new DateTimePickerProperties();

            //Initializing the datasource and other properties
            DateObj.Width = "300px";
            DateObj.Value = "05/15/2015 09:00 AM";

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

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