Kendo DateTimePicker set value from json result - json

Question

I have a big trouble with pasting a value in Kendo DateTimePicker inside Kendo Grid from json result. So I have two forms on page. In first I'm loading file:
#using (Html.BeginForm("GetImportSalesModelFromFile", "ExportImport", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "GetImportSaleModelFromFileForm", enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
<input id="importFileInput" type="file" accept="text/csv" name="file" class="user-success" required>
<input style="width: 100px;" type="submit" value="Add">
}
On form submit called function
$('#GetImportSaleModelFromFileForm').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).attr('action');
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var fd = new FormData();
fd.append("file", document.getElementById('importFileInput').files[0]);
xhr.open("POST", url, true);
xhr.send(fd);
xhr.addEventListener("load", function(event) {
AppendImportModel(JSON.parse(event.target.response));
}, false);
});
In controller I get needed import model
public ActionResult GetImportSalesModelFromFile(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
var importModel = _importService.ConstructSaleImportModel(file.InputStream, file.ContentType);
return Json(importModel, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
In function AppendImportModel I parse result and paste it in kendo grid in second form
#(Html.Kendo().Grid<ImportSaleItemModel>().Name("ImportSalesGrid")
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource.Ajax())
.Events(x => x.DataBound("initMenus"))
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(x => x.Goods.PictureId)
.ClientTemplate("<img style='height: 50px;' src='" + Url.Action("Contents", "FileStorage", new { id = "#= Goods.PictureId #" }) + "'/>")
.Title("")
.Sortable(false)
.HtmlAttributes(new Dictionary<string, object> { { "style", "padding: 3px !important; height: 52px !important; width:52px !important;" } });
columns.Bound(x => x.Goods.Title)
.ClientTemplate("<a onclick='ShowInfoGoodWindow(#= Goods.Id #)'>#= Goods.Title #</a><br>" +
"<span><b>#= Goods.Article #</b> <descr>#= Goods.Description #</descr></span><br><input type='hidden' name='ImportedGoodList[#= index(data)#].Id' value='#= Goods.Id #' />")
.Title("Description");
columns.Bound(x => x.Price)
.ClientTemplate("<input class='priceEditor' maxlength='10' style='width:50px; text-align: center;' type='text' name='ImportedGoodList[#= index(data)#].Price' onkeypress='return isPriceKey(event)' oninput='$(this).get(0).setCustomValidity(clearValidation);' value='#=Price.ParsedValue #'>")
.HtmlAttributes(new Dictionary<string, object> { { "style", "text-align: center;" } })
.Title("Price");
columns.Bound(x => x.Discount)
.ClientTemplate("<input class='discountEditor' maxlength='10' style='width:50px; text-align: center;' type='text' name='ImportedGoodList[#= index(data)#].Discount' onkeypress='return isPriceKey(event)' oninput='$(this).get(0).setCustomValidity(clearValidation);' value='#=Discount.ParsedValue #'>")
.HtmlAttributes(new Dictionary<string, object> { { "style", "text-align: center;" } })
.Title("Discount");
columns.Bound(x => x.DepartmentId)
.HtmlAttributes(new { #class = "templateCell" })
.ClientTemplate(Html.Kendo().DropDownList().Name("Department#=LineId#").BindTo(Model.Departments).Value("#= DepartmentId #").ToClientTemplate().ToHtmlString())
.Title("Department");
columns.Bound(x => x.SaleDateTime)
.HtmlAttributes(new { #class = "templateCell" })
.ClientTemplate(Html.Kendo().DateTimePicker().Name("SaleDateTime#=LineId#").Value("#= ConvertedSaleDateTime #").ToClientTemplate().ToHtmlString())
.Title("Sale Date");
columns.Bound(x => x.SellerId)
.HtmlAttributes(new { #class = "templateCell" })
.ClientTemplate(Html.Kendo().DropDownList().Name("Seller#=LineId#").BindTo(Model.Sellers).Value("#= SellerId #").ToClientTemplate().ToHtmlString())
.Title("Seller");
columns.Bound(x => x.IsCashPayment)
.ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' id='IsCashPayment#=LineId#' checked='#= IsCashPayment.ParsedValue #' class='regular-checkbox'/><label for='IsCashPayment#=LineId#'></label> Yes")
.Title("Is Cash Payment");
})
)
In all columns using "#= value #" works fine but not in this line
.ClientTemplate(Html.Kendo().DateTimePicker().Name("SaleDateTime#=LineId#").Value("#= ConvertedSaleDateTime #").ToClientTemplate().ToHtmlString())
"#= ConvertedSaleDateTime #" not changed on real value, but if I write
.ClientTemplate("#= ConvertedSaleDateTime #")
I will get right value "10/07/2013 13:15". And if I write
.ClientTemplate(Html.Kendo().DateTimePicker().Name("SaleDateTime#=LineId#").Value("10/07/2013 13:15").ToClientTemplate().ToHtmlString())
I will get Kendo DateTimePicker inside grid with value "10/07/2013 13:15"
How I can set value to this DateTimePicker from ConvertedSaleDateTime?
Please, help me. Thanks in advance.

I solved my problem via jQuery. Maybe someone needs this solution or knows something more beautiful.
In client template of SaleDateTime columnt I wrote:
columns.Bound(x => x.SaleDateTime).ClientTemplate("<input class='saleDateTimeEditor' id='SaleDateTime#=index(data)#' name='ImportedSalesList[#=index(data)#].SaleDateTime' value='#= ConvertedSaleDateTime #'>")
And in DataBound event of my kendo grid I initialized all kendo DateTimePickers:
$('.saleDateTimeEditor').each(function () {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var value = new Date(Date.parse($(this).val()));
$("#" + id).kendoDateTimePicker({
value: value,
max: new Date(Date.now())
});
$('#'+id).attr('readonly', 'readonly');
});
ConvertedSaleDateTime is in format "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss"
