How to create datetime on asp.net mvc framework?

Question

Hi Team

I have a model, but to see the view its not showing correct format of date. I need some help to it.

// model


        [DataType(DataType.Date)]
        [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
        public DateTime AuditDate { get; set; }


// view

<div class="form-group row">
                            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.AuditDate, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "col-md-2 col-form-label text-md-right" })
                            <div class="col-md-10">
                                @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.AuditDate, "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", new { @class = "form-control datepicker" })
                                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.AuditDate, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
                            </div>
                        </div>

Try the below options and see whether this would help Ensure that your model is valid. If there are any validation errors, it might affect the display format. You can check the model state in your controller action before rendering the view: if (!ModelState.IsValid) { // Handle validation errors return View(model); } Try adjusting the format directly in the TextBoxFor method in your view: @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.AuditDate, "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", new { @class = "form-control datepicker" }) Instead of TextBoxFor , you can try using EditorFor : @Html.EditorFor(model => model.AuditDate, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control datepicker" } })

Hi Prasad Thanks so much, it now display, issue was using TextBoxFor instead of EditorFor.
