How to create datetime on asp.net mvc framework?

Guest User

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


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

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" } })
```
