How to bind GridView extension to a Model filtered by a range of dates in MVC 3 (Razor)

[Run Online]

The example covers the following topics:
- the GridView extension is bound to a DataSet that is filtered by external editors;
- when a callback is performed, the grid's ASPxClientGridView.BeginCallback event is handled. In the MVC GridView extension, it is possible to transmit client-side values as callback arguments to a Controller's Action, returning a Partial View;
- jQuery asynchronous requests are not able to serialize the Date, and thus the serialization should be performed manually;
- a DateTime object is created from a serialized string using the DateTime.ParseExact method;
- custom resources (scripts and CSS files) are compressed using the HTTP Handler as demonstrated in the How to compress and merge custom CSS and JavaScript files using ASPxHttpHandlerModuleexample.
