Question

I have a DateEdit control from DexExpress and need to get the date value from it using Javascript. Conceptually, I am looking for something like this:

var d = $("dpEndDate").GetDate();

Their API reference indicates that .GetDate() is a member, but I just need to know how to acquire a client-side instance of the object that contains this member.

Answer 1

It is necessary to specify the ClientInstanceName property (for the ASP.NET WebForms) and the “Name” property (for the ASP.NET MVC) to enable control’s client-side programmatic object:

<dx:ASPxDateEdit ... ClientInstanceName="de">
</dx:ASPxDateEdit>

var date = de.GetDate();
