Q:

Display only Date in @Html.DisplayFor() in MVC

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

A:

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.

A:

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..
