Question

I want to use Data Picker for a datatime field in my MVC-Form

I am using the Following code to get the Data time value,

[Required(ErrorMessage="Please enter the Absence Start Date")]
    [StringLength(20,ErrorMessage="The Format must not exceed 50 Characaters")]
    [DataType(DataType.DateTime )]
    [Display(Name="Absence Start Date")]
    public DateTime AbsenceStartDate{get;set;}

But I want to have datapicker controls beside the textbox. How could I do that?

Any help

Thank you

A good client-side datepicker is provided in the jQuery UI library: http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/
