I am using kendo DateTimePicker and just don't want user to select from Weekends.

I have tried assigning MonthTemplate() aproach as follows:

@(Html.Kendo().DateTimePickerFor(m => Data)
                       .MonthTemplate("# if (isWeekDay(data.date)) { #" +
                                                    "#= data.value #" +
                                                    "# } #" 
                                                    )  
    function isWeekDay(date)
        {
            var day = date.getDay();

            return (day % 6 != 0);
        }

But it helped me for just not displaying the Date in the Widget, but user still able to select it by clicking over the blank Cell in the Month Template.

Tried using Validation handling onChange Event and (e.StopPropagation for not closing the dropdown), but still its working.

Is it possible or doing efforts invain?

Thanks Sumeet

Hope you still need help about your question. This is a way to disable click on weekends.

.kendoDatePicker({
    open: function() { $('.k-weekend a').bind('click', function() { return false; }); }
});

.k-weekend is the class associated to weekend cells. So, it's easy to disable the click on those cells. It's also possible to put some CSS to change the aspect of those cells.

Hope this will help. Laurent
