2 ways to format MVC dates

Original: 2 ways to format MVC dates

Suppose you have a class that contains a datetime type attribute, how do you make jointime appear in the format we expect when editing?

using System; using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations; namespace mvcapplication1.models{    publicclass  Employee    {        public  getset;}}    }

In the HomeController:

 using   System;  using   SYSTEM.WEB.MVC;  using   Mvcapplication1.models;  namespace   mvcapplication1.controllers{  Public   public   ActionResult Index () { return  View (new  Employee () {jointime = DateTime.Now}); }    }}

In the home/index.cshtml strongly typed view:

@model mvcapplication1.models.employee@{    "Index";     " ~/views/shared/_layout.cshtml " ;} = model. Jointime)

Mode 1: By encoding

Create a datetime.cshtml strongly typed partial view under Views/shared/editortemplates, formatted with ToString ():

@model DateTime? @Html. TextBox ("", Model.hasvalue? Model.Value.ToString ("yyyy-mm-dd"""new"date "})

Mode 2: by ViewData.TemplateInfo.FormattedModelValue

When we put [DisplayFormat (dataformatstring = "{0:YYYY-MM-DD}" ...] property is hit on the DateTime type property, we can get the display of the Type property formatted by ViewData.TemplateInfo.FormattedModelValue on the View page.

usingSystem;usingSystem.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;namespacemvcapplication1.models{ Public classEmployee {[DisplayFormat (dataformatstring="{0:YYYY-MM-DD}", Applyformatineditmode =true)]         PublicDatetime? Jointime {Get;Set; } }}

The datetime.cshtml strongly typed partial view is created under Views/shared/editortemplates, and the properties of the date type are formatted by ViewData.TemplateInfo.FormattedModelValue.

@model DateTime? @Html. TextBox ("" ""new {@class ="date"})
