    Hi Mirko,

    Thank you for your interest in our new jQuery product.

    You can look at Editors -> Order Entry Form Sample at http://samples.infragistics.com/jquery/editors/order-entry-form. There you can see how you can use the MVC model binding with the editors helpers.

    Look through the different files in the SELECT SAMPLE SOURCE FILE TO VIEW dropdown. There you can find the controller code as well in the OrderEntryFormController.cs file.

    Using the editors helpers with MVC model binding is pretty easy. Just use the corresponding <Helper>For method. They are used the same way as you would use the build-in helpers, the only difference is that you need to call the Render() method in the end.

    For example if you have a model with property Date of type DateTime using <%= Html.Infragistics().DatePickerFor(m => m.Date).Render() %> will populate the date picker with the date from this property. When the HTML Form is posted back to the server if your action accepts a parameter with the same type as your model you will be able to find the modified value in the same Date property.

    Hope this helps,
