In MVC is it possible to override an editor templa

问题:

is it possible to override an editor template?

I have DateTime fields in my model, which are used for arrival/departure dates - and these are rendered using the following EditorTemplate:

@model Nullable<System.DateTime> 

@if ( Model.HasValue ) { 
   @Html.TextBox( "" , String.Format( "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" , Model.Value ) , new  { @class = "datepicker span2" } ) 
} 
else { 
   @Html.TextBox( "" , String.Format( "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" , DateTime.Now ) , new { @class = "datepicker span2" } ) 
} 

...which will format datetime fields eg: 01/08/2012

However, I also want to show, in another field, the date AND time a booking was made eg:

22/07/2012 08:23

My model is:

    public DateTime Arrival { get; set; }
    public DateTime Departure { get; set; }
    public DateTime TimeBooked { get; set; }

I would like TimeBooked to show time as well - but the Editor Template obviously just shows the date.

Can this be overridden? Or is there another way of doing this?

Thank you,

Mark

You can add a different named editor which shows time also and use an overload of EditorFor, which accepts template name as second parameter, like:

EditorFor(m=>m.TimeBooked, "DateWithTimeTemplate")

MSDN help

回答2:

You can by using the UIHintAttribute attribute. You can decorate the TimeBooked property with this attribute so MVC will know which editor to use.

Yes, you can do that by adding the hh:mm placeholder..

String.Format("{0:d/M/yyyy HH:mm:ss}", DateTime.Now)
