I work in MVC5 and EntityFramework for displaying data into View.
right now in my view data format is :- 10/22/2014 12:00:00 AM
But i want only date :- 22/10/2014 in this format
i try this code but it not working
@if (item.chekin_on_after != null)
{ @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.chekin_on_after, "ShortDateTime")}
I also follow few link in stackoverflow but not helpful Date Format using Html.DisplayFor() in MVC5, Display only date and no time
I didn’t use @html.DisplayFor()
.Instead of this I use
@Convert.ToString(string.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", item.chekin_on_after))
And it works perfectly.
Try to use below attribute in your model class.
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true,DataFormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")]
public DateTime chekin_on_after { get; set; }
Hope it helps..
You can use this function in your controller before populating the data to model :
public static System.DateTime ParseDate(string value, string style)
{
DateTime blankDate = default(DateTime);
if ((value != null & value.Length > 0)) {
string formattedDate = Strings.Format(Convert.ToDateTime(value), style);
return formattedDate;
} else {
return blankDate;
}
}
Where value is your: 10/22/2014 12:00:00 AM
and style is :"MM/dd/yyyy"
or something as you want
