Html.TextBoxFor bootstrap Date mvc4

Question

I've got this VMs' property:

[Required]
        [Display(Name = "Expiration date")]
        [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
        [DataType(DataType.Date)]
        public DateTime ExpirationDate { get; set; }

and this code in model:

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.ExpirationDate, String.Format("0:dd/MM/yyyy}", Model.ExpirationDate),new{@class="form-control", type = "date"})

but only receive this:

I mean there is no date from view model. But value attribute is fill with date: http://clip2net.com/clip/m0/1380730052-clip-2kb.png

Actually the question: why does the date is not shown in input?

Answer 1

你只需要这样做：

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.ExpirationDate, new{ @class="form-control", type = "date"})

Answer 2

Are you trying to have it as a placeholder? If so, I believe this should work (untested, though) -

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.ExpirationDate, String.Format("0:dd/MM/yyyy}", Model.ExpirationDate),new{@class="form-control", type = "date", placeholder = m.ExpirationDate})
