I am trying to add a object to my Html.Hidden HTML helper, but I can’t get the syntax quite right.

Syntax 1:

@Html.Hidden("hiddenDate", ViewBag.myDate.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy"))

Results in runtime error and it can’t resolve the @Html.Hidden in view.

Syntax 2:

@Html.Hidden("hiddenDate", new { String = ViewBag.myDate.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy")})

Sets the value=”{ String = 16.04.2012 }”

I would like to get the value to only “16.04.2012”, but no success after several syntax tweaks

    Try casting the return value to object:

    @Html.Hidden("hiddenDate", (object)ViewBag.myDate.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy"))
