Why is DisplayFormat DataFormatString not working?

Question

I have a property in my view model as follows:

[Editable(false)]
[Display(Name = \"Date\")]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = \"{0:yyyy/MM/dd}\", ApplyFormat         


        

Answer 1

If you can't get it working on the model, you could try it on the view.

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.ValidFrom, "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", new {maxlength = 10})
