jQuery DatePicker MVC4 EditorFor

Question

I need to use datepicker on an EditorFor field.

My code for the view is:

    @Html.Label(\"birthDate\",\"birthDate         


        
      

Answer 1

I had a simmilar issue, solved by using the HTML5 functionality, that has support for datetime, in your example I would suggest trying somthing like this:

    @Html.Label("birthDate","birthDate")


    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.birthDate, new { @class = "datepicker", type="datetime-local"})
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.birthDate)

the only thing that I addes is a type ="datetime-local"
