Question

I am making a small app and I need to show the DateTime, but I don’t know how.

I have a ViewModel:

public class ViewModel
{
    public DateTime Time{ get; set; }
}

I have a controller called TimeController:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    ViewModel v = new ViewModel();
    v.Time = DateTime.Now;
    return View(v);
}

And a View from Index:

    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Hello</h2>

Can somebody explain me how I can show the time on my view?

Can somebody explain me how i can show the time in my view?

You can directly show it using @:

<div>@DateTime.Now.ToString()</div>

If your only purpose is to show DateTime, I wouldn’t bother using ViewModel or atleast wouldn’t store DateTime.Now just to be able to display it in View.
