Question

can anyone advice me is this corect approach? but still I am getting here only + + in input box?

Answer 1

Html.DisplayFor will render a label in this case. If you want to write in this way just use <%= Model.Date.ToString() %> for the value attribute of the input.

These HTML helpers will render the markup for you, don’t try and use them as methods to return data. You can get the data by just using <%=Model.MyProperty%> as long as it is a strongy-typed view.

Try just using <%= Html.EditorFor(m => m.Date) %>

OR

<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Date) %> (the EditorFor will automatically render a textbox anyway)

OR

<%= Html.TextBox("Date", Model.Date) %> (this is not a strongly-typed helper, you’re doing the data binding yourself with the second argument)
