Date Format using Html.DisplayFor() in MVC5

Question

Referencing the answer in this post I added /Views/Shared/DisplayTemplates and added a partial view called ShortDateTime.cshtml as shown below:

@model System         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried this?

@if (modelItem.BirthDate != null) { Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.BirthDate, "ShortDateTime") }
