How do you set a default valut to input type = date with c# MVC

Question

I have a simple date field that i want to populate with a value from my database so my users can see the default before they edit:

<input type = "date" name = "Date" style = "width:180px;" value="@ViewBag.Options.Date"/>

Simply put, this doesnt popluate the date input. it works on all other forms of html5 inputs however, also worth noting that the ViewBag.Options.Date is a DateTime variable.

Answer 1

您的日期需要具有特定格式以使其明确：

@ViewBag.Options.Date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")

Answer 2

For every HTML input field, the browser will leave it empty unless a default value is specified with the value attribute.

currently HTML5 doesn't provide any way of specifying default date in the value attribute.

try some script may be it helps.
