How to fix the MVC Textbox date time format issue
23 Mar 2018
Today I had a problem where I had a text box which was rendering a date of birth, but it was also showing the time as well.
This post shows you how you can remove the time off the end of a date value when rendering it in an MVC TextBoxFor.
This is the markup I was using before:
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.DateOfBirth)
Here is the solution:
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.DateOfBirth, "{0:d}")
Hopefully this post will help you and probably me when I forget it in a few weeks.
