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

Since You want to exclude the time to get Only Date: At Model:-

 [DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy/MM/dd}"]
   public DateTime TheDate { get; set; }

At Views:-

    @Html.DisplayFor(model=> model.TheDate)
    @Html.JQueryUI().DatepickerFor(model => model.TheDate)

The tutorial of the following link may help you.It works for me.
