Question

In my model i have propery:

public DateTime CreatedFrom { get; set; }

In strongly typed view i what to show that date and make it editable (but only date,not time).
I use:

@Html.EditorFor(m=>m.CreatedFrom.ToShortDateString())

When i want to go to that view exception occures:

Templates can be used only with field access, property access, single-dimension array index, or single-parameter custom indexer expressions.

How do it correctly?

Answer 1

Linquinze is right, the EditorFor is for an Expression and not a Func.

If you are trying to display a textbox though for your date you could use:

@Html.TextBox("CreatedFrom", @Model.CreatedFrom.ToShortDateString())

which I believe will achieve the same thing.
