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

{0:dd/mm/yyyy} should be {0:dd/MM/yyyy} because mm means minutes, not months:

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