Display DateTime value in dd/mm/yyyy format in Asp.NET MVC

Solution 1:

All you have to do is apply the format you want in the html helper call, ie.

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.RegistrationDate, "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")

You don't need to provide the date format in the model class.

Solution 2:

After few hours of searching, I just solved this issue with a few lines of code

Your model

      [Required(ErrorMessage = "Enter the issued date.")]
      [DataType(DataType.Date)]
      public DateTime IssueDate { get; set; }

Razor Page

     @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.IssueDate)
     @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.IssueDate)

Jquery DatePicker

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#IssueDate').datepicker({
            dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
            showStatus: true,
            showWeeks: true,
            currentText: 'Now',
            autoSize: true,
            gotoCurrent: true,
            showAnim: 'blind',
            highlightWeek: true
        });
    });
</script>

Webconfig File

    <system.web>
        <globalization uiCulture="en" culture="en-GB"/>
    </system.web>

Now your text-box will accept "dd/MM/yyyy" format.

Solution 3:

I know this is an older question, but for reference, a really simple way for formatting dates without any data annotations or any other settings is as follows:

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.StartDate, new { @Value = Model.StartDate.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy") })

The above format can of course be changed to whatever.
