在TextBox中显示日期，类型=“日期”

Question

I want to display stored date on database on TextBox type="date"

 <asp:TextBox ID="DateStatus"  runat="server" Type="date" CssClass="form-control"></asp:TextBox> 

but nothing is displayed in the textbox i used. I tried this

Dim getdate As Date = DetailTable.Rows(0)(3)
DateStatus.Text= getDate

Also this which i found here

 Dim getdate As Date = DetailTable.Rows(0)(3)
 DateStatus.Text = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString(getdate)

When i debugged the code, the date passed correctly.

When i remove type="date" the requested date is displayed just fine

Is it not Possible to do this?

on SideNote when i generate my table using <Asp:detailsview> the date is generated with time 12:00:00 despite the field declared only as Date in the schema, but i don't think it's relevant to my current issue since every thing looked fine during debugging

And Originally i store the date as Text (@date, DateStatus.Text)

This is HTML 5 stuff. If you have a real date from your database, I simulated like this

<asp:TextBox ID="txt1" runat="server" TextMode="date" />

        Dim d As New Date(1922, 12, 25)
        txt1.Text = d.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
        'displays 12/25/1922

HTML 5 expects a string in the format yyyy-MM-dd and a supporting browser will display depending on Culture setting.
