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

This work for me:

In the model:

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace Athlete.Models
{
    public class Foo
    {

        [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")]
        public DateTime SignDate
        {
           get;
           set;
        }
    }
}

And in the view:

@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.SignDate)
