Question

Here is my code,

<%=Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.DateOfFileClosed, 
                   new {id="txtClosingDate", 
                   @class = "DataEntry_Date" } )%>

It gives me the DateTime like “03/12/2012 10:09:50 AM”.
“DataOfFileClosed” is a property of DataTime type. I want to get the whole DateTime but for editing/viewing purpose I want only date “03/12/2012”.

One thing that I don’t want to use attribute over this property.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can do like this

@Html.TextBox("DateOfFileClosed", string.Format("{0:d}", Model.DateOfFileClosed), new {id="txtClosingDate", @class = "DataEntry_Date" })
