Get a template error when I try to do this?

Question

I am using asp.net mvc 3 and I keep getting this error and I don\'t understand it since I am not using a template.

I have this in my partial view

@mo         


        

Answer 1

There is an overload that can help achieve this, while keeping it strongly typed.

// Specify that you're providing the format argument (string)
@Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Due, format: Model.Due.ToShortDateString())

// Or use the overload with format and html options, where null is the htmloptions
@Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Due, Model.Due.ToShortDateString(), null)
