Unable to set datetime format in MVC 4 using data annotations

Question

I will try everything but not working this(dd/MM/yyyy) date format, this always gate mm/dd/yyyy

[Display(Name = \"Release D         


        

Answer 1

You missed 2 things here:

DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"; //It is dd/MM/yyyy instead of dd/mm/yyyy

and you also need:

ApplyFormatInEditMode=true

Try to use this:

[Display(Name = "Release Date")]
[DataType(DataType.Date), DisplayFormat( DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode=true )]
public Nullable release_date { get; set; }
