Format date within View in ASP.NET Core MVC

Question

I have problem in regarding with converting the datetime to date using a model.

Model from Class Library

public partial class LoanCo         


        

Answer 1

Add [DataType(DataType.Date)] in your model

[Column(TypeName = "Date")]
[DisplayName("Date of birth")]
[DataType(DataType.Date)] 

Answer 2

Simple and practical, use asp-format, example:

<input asp-for="MyDate" asp-format="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" class="form-control" />

Or:

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.MyDate, "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", new { @class = "form-control" })

Answer 3

This might be the wrong solution to the problem being asked, but I hope it helps someone. If you are trying to input only a date (without time) Model.IsValid will throw back a validation error saying the date input format is incorrect. To solve this problem, simply Add this to your model.

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

Using data attributes inside asp.net have the benefit of automatically being supported by jQuery client-side validation. (Generated by Asp.Net)

Answer 4

I have also solved this problem using .ToString("d"). I received output of "MM/DD/YYYY".

Answer 5

For those who get here wanting to change date format of a model in the view regardless of Model class (Its what I expected to be answering). This works in both Razorpages and MVC.

Just add .ToString("dd/MM/YYYY") to the property you're displaying.

e.g.

@Model.DateOfBirth.ToString("<Use formatting here>")

This is great if you only want to show part of a date say month and year, but elsewhere you need to show the day and the time.

Answer 6

Try it with this in your model:

[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")]

And In your controller change DateTime to Date :

myList.loanContract = new LoanContract { LoanDateStart = Date.Today };

Hope this help you.
