Question

In my Model I have the following :

[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:H:mm}")]
public DateTime _time { get; set; }

In my Edit View in the Textbox the value that is set is the full Date and time and when ever i try manually to edit the value through the browser the jQuery Validations Yields an error that the date format is not correct

while I’m adding ApplyFormatInEditMode=true why in the textbox I’m getting the Full Date the the formated one (only time) and why the jQuery validator throw error when the format is time only without date and how can I by pass it?

Answer 1

You should use Html.EditorFor and not Html.TextBoxFor if you want the custom format to be applied:

@Html.EditorFor(x => x._time)

Also by naming a property _time you are violating at least 2 C# naming conventions (property names start with an uppercase letter and not with an underscore).
