Answer 1

As Brad said it dosn't work for TextBoxFor but you'll also need to remember to add the ApplyFormatInEditMode if you want it to work for EditorFor.

[DataType(DataType.Date), DisplayFormat( DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode=true )]
public System.DateTime DateCreated { get; set; }

Then use

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.DateCreated)
