I have been trying to use the XD Soft jQuery plugin found here :
datetimepicker I used NuGet to install it to my asp.net mvc project. I want to use the inline date and time picker within my form Here is the HTML
<head>
<title>Create</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/Content/jquery.datetimepicker.css"/>
</head>
<h2>Create</h2>
@using(Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>Event</h4>
<hr />
@Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model =>model.Name, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Date, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Date, new { @id = "datetimepicker3", @style ="width:150px" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Date, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Description, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Description, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Description, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
<div>
@Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>
@section Scripts {
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/jquery.datetimepicker.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery('#datetimepicker3').datetimepicker({
format: 'd.m.Y H:i',
inline: true,
lang: 'ru'
});
</script>
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
However at the moment only an ordinary calendar is displayed allowing the user to choose the date, month and year but not the time as well which is what I need. I have tried a few different plugins and tutorials but I've not been able to get one that works as expected. Any help would be great as I've been stuck on this for ages and haven't been getting anywhere thanks.
I worked out what was wrong I needed to use TextBoxFor rather than EditorFor within the form. Here is the View with the change implemented.
<head>
<title>Create</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/Content/jquery.datetimepicker.css" />
</head>
