How can I modify the behavior of the autobinding in ASP.net MVC?
For instance, suppose I have a simple Employee object. One of the fields might be hiredate. When this field is bound to a textbox, it displays mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss instead of just the date.
I know I can modify the view to add formatting, but I’m pretty sure I the autobinding can be modified, I’m just not sure how.
Edit
If possible, please include sample code.
You have to create a Custom Model Binder, it’s a bit of a pain though.
This fantastic post explains exactly what you’re after. In it Scott Hanselman splits a date in several fields, but you could as well tweak it to just omit the time part:

Hope that helped and the answer didn’t come too late 😉
