将值复制到Editor.For ASP.Net MVC

Question

Using ASP.Net MVC. In Edit mode I have this :

    <div class="editor-field">
        <%: Html.EditorFor(model => model.Date) %>
        <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Date) %>
    </div>

and I have a DatePicker using Jquery.

<rhp:DatePicker ID="DatePicker1" runat="server"></rhp:DatePicker> 

and I can get the Text of date picker : DatePicker1.Text

When the user pick the date I want picked date to be copied to model.Date and save to database. How can I do this?

If you don't want to create a custom EditorTemplate, the easiest way would be to remove the Html.EditorFor(m => m.Date) and use your DatePicker as the editor:

<div class="editor-field">
    <rhp:DatePicker ID="Date" runat="server"></rhp:DatePicker>
    <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Date) %>
</div>

Notice that the ID for the DatePicker control is Date , which should allow the model binder to bind the value to the Date property of your model.
