The Pickers are not bound to model value when a nullable DateTime is set.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Create a model with a nullable DateTime property

        public class MyModel
        {
              public DateTime? Birthday { get; set; }
        }
   

2. Declare either a DatePickerFor, DateRangePickerFor, DateInputFor, or TimePickerFor Helpers

       @(Html.Kendo().TimePickerFor(m => m.Birthday))
   

3. Notice, that the value has not been bound accordingly.

Current behavior

The Pickers are not bound to model value when nullable.

Expected behavior

The Pickers are not bound to model value when a nullable DateTime is set.

### Bug report

When the Virtualization of the MultiColumnComboBox is enabled, the table headers and rows are not aligned correctly.

### Reproduction of the problem

A Dojo sample for reproduction: https://dojo.telerik.com/ORalaWoq

The tables and rows are aligned as expected when using version 2021 R3 SP2 (2021.3.1207).

A temporary workaround:

<style>
    .k-table-list .k-table-group-row, .k-table-list .k-table-row {
        display: inline-flex;
    }
</style>

### Expected/desired behavior

The headers and rows should be aligned correctly when the Virtualization is enabled.

### Environment

* **Kendo UI version: 2022.1.412
* **jQuery version: 1.12.4
* **Browser: [all]

Consider the use of TextWriter async methods for the HTML Helpers, for example the WriteInitializationScript methods.  In certain scenarios the use of the synchronous methods causes an exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Synchronous operations are disallowed. Call WriteAsync or set AllowSynchronousIO to true instead.

This can be resolved by explicitly enabling synchronous operations

services.Configure<IISServerOptions>(options =>
    {
        options.AllowSynchronousIO = true;
    });

though synchronous operations have been disabled by default at framework level as of .NET 3.0.

This just seems like a minor oversight since the Enable(bool) method exists on the DatePicker html helper and other Kendo taghelpers support the enable or enabled attribute, but there doesn't seem to be an enable-like attribute for the kendo-datepicker. Thanks!

<kendo-datepicker for="ReadOnlyDate" enable="false"></kendo-datepicker>

Currently, the Content function for Steps in a Wizard only accepts a string value (see API here). 
This means that in order to add a partial view (bound to the current model and its properties), the most straightforward way I could find was to put the partial view (and any wrappers) in its own file and add an extension method "ToHtmlString()". For example:

@model MyModel

@(Html.Kendo().Wizard().Steps(step => {
    step.Add().Content(Html.Partial("~/Path/To/View/Wrapper.cshtml", Model).ToHtmlString());
})

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Html;
using System.IO;

public static class HtmlContentExtensions
{
    public static string ToHtmlString(this IHtmlContent htmlContent)
    {
        if (htmlContent is HtmlString htmlString)
        {
            return htmlString.Value;
        }

        using StringWriter writer = new();
        htmlContent.WriteTo(writer, System.Text.Encodings.Web.HtmlEncoder.Default);
        return writer.ToString();
    }
}

@model MyModel

@(Html.Kendo().TabStrip().Items(tabstrip => {

    tabstrip.Add()
    .Content(@<div id="@Model.TabContainer" class="myTabWrapperClass"> 
       @await Html.PartialAsync("~/Path/To/View.cshtml", Model)
    </div>);

})

Bug report

Expose additional API configurations for the Grid's ToolBar

Reproduction of the problem

As of recent releases, the Kendo UI Grid Toolbar has been substituted with the Kendo UI Toolbar. This change allows users to add the majority ToolBar.items API options apart from the built-in tools.

As noted within the Kendo UI for jQuery API documentation for the Grid's Toolbar:

"Apart from the built-in tools, the Grid fully exposes the ToolBar.items API. This way you can specify any custom tools in the widget using the components available in the ToolBar itself."

Current behavior

The inherited ToolBar.items API options are not available for the server-side Telerik UI Grid for ASP.NET Core and MVC wrappers as well.

Expected/desired behavior

It would be beneficial to the customers if the inherited ToolBar.items API options are available for the server-side Telerik UI Grid for ASP.NET Core and MVC wrappers as well.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2024.1.130
• Browser: [all]

Bug report

Reproduction of the problem

Dojo example.

1. Run the example

Current behavior

The Chart's animation does not work when it is nested in the Splitter.

Expected/desired behavior

The Chart's animation should work.

By default, when the "paste" command is added, the default option is "insert" mode ("Paste (Insert)"). Is it possible to add an option that allows setting the default paste mode to "replace" ("Paste (Replace)")?

In the Scheduler's Timeline view when there are events with the same Start and End dates and one of them is resized, the Scheduler reorders the events automatically, placing the longest event on top and the shortest event at the bottom of the slot. The same occurs in other views, for example, in the Week view the events are automatically reordered from left to right (longest to shortest).

It would be nice to be able to control this behavior and disable it through a dedicated option.

.NET 6 introduced DateOnly and TimeOnly types, but none of the relevant date/time controls support these types.

There is already a feature request to support DateOnly in DatePicker; this feature request is about adding support for TimeOnly to TimePicker.

Bug report

When a Grid's row is reordered and then the changes are saved - a Destroy request is sent to the server for the dataItem of the reordered row. This happens even though no changes are applied to dataItem of the reordered row.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Run this Telerik REPL or this Dojo
2. Reorder a row
3. Open the browser's Network Tab
4. Click the Save Changes button

Expected/desired behavior

The Grid should request the reordered item to be perished from the backend.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2023.2.718

Currently, when using the default Grid search functionality and the column filter menus, we observe the following:

• When a column filter is applied first, using the Search feature afterward overrides the column filters, applying the search filter with the "contains" operator to the specified columns.
• Conversely, when a search is performed first and then followed by a column filter, the grid generally functions as expected.

However, there’s a specific scenario where this does not work properly:

• If a search is performed and then a column filter is applied to a column where the search criteria are relevant, the Grid returns no data.

For example:

• After searching for "2018," the expected columns displayed in the filters (notably, the ContractNumber is among them).

• When a column filter is subsequently applied to ContractNumber (e.g., setting it to "2018-CR0018"), the Grid removes the ContractNumber from the search filters and adds the column filter with an "AND" operator. This setup returns no data because of the search filters and the "AND" operator.

Expected Behavior and Alternative

This functionality behaves correctly in the Telerik UI for Blazor Grid component - the search and column filters are managed as separate objects.

Is it possible to enhance the Grid filtering similar to the Blazor Grid?

At this stage, the Serialize() method depends on Newtonsoft.Json:

using Newtonsoft.Json;

namespace Kendo.Mvc.Infrastructure
{
    public class DefaultJavaScriptSerializer : IJavaScriptSerializer
    {
        public string Serialize(object value)
        {
            return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value).Replace(@"<", @"\u003c").Replace(@">", @"\u003e");
        }
    }
}

Is it possible to remove the dependency and use the System.Text.Json serializer instead?

### Bug report

The attributes set through the "HtmlAttributes", "ContentHtmlAttributes", and "LinkHtmlAttributes"methods are not applied to the TreeView items.

### Reproduction of the problem

1. Create a TreeView and set attributes by using the "HtmlAttributes", "ContentHtmlAttributes", "LinkHtmlAttributes"methods:

@(Html.Kendo().TreeView()
    .Name("treeview-kendo2")
    .Items(treeview =>
    {
        treeview.Add().Text("My Documents")
        .SpriteCssClasses("k-icon k-i-globe")
        .Expanded(true)
        .Url("/")
        .HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "fairydust1" })
        .ContentHtmlAttributes(new { data_navigate = "navigate_content", @class = "trigger", title = "content_title" })
        .LinkHtmlAttributes(new { data_navigate = "navigate_link", @class = "trigger", title = "content_link" });
    })
)

2. Run the page and inspect the TreeView item.

### Expected/desired behavior

The attributes are serialized and rendered.

### Environment

* **Kendo UI version: 2021.2.616
* **jQuery version: 1.12.4

### Bug report

When adding custom attributes to the CheckBox Taghelper, they are not added to the input element.

### Reproduction of the problem

1. Define a CheckBox Taghelper and add 'data-bind="checked: Test"' to its tag:

<kendo-checkbox name="Name" data-bind="checked: Test"></kendo-checkbox>

2. Inspect the CheckBox element and you will see that the "data-bind" attribute is missing.

3. When using the HtmlHelper version of the CheckBox, the attributes added through the HtmlAttributes() option are added as expected.

A REPL sample for reproduction: https://netcorerepl.telerik.com/mIuZlRle01kh6Ly043

### Expected/desired behavior

The specified attributes must be added to the input element of the CheckBox Taghelper.

Hi, is there a way to configure the grid so that when it's grouped and later sorted, the grouping state (expanded/collapsed) is preserved?

Kind Regards
