Can my MVC view display only the date portion of a SQL datetime field?

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC4 application that is displaying the full datetime value from SQL (eg "1/1/2012 12:00:00 AM") and I'm trying to get it to only display the date (eg "1/1/2012").

My Index.cshtml file for the view in question pull the item in using this code:

@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.OccurrenceDate)

Is there a way to modify this to only show the date?

Answer 1

You can also decorate your model with an annotation and the formatting will be handled for you

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
class myModel {
  [DataType(DataType.Date)]
  public DateTime OccurencDate {get;set;}
}

Answer 2

您可以只使用 Date属性的 ToShortDateString()方法：

@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.OccurrenceDate.ToShortDateString())

Answer 3

There is no need to use Html Helper DisplayFor unless you are taking an advantage of templates, which this helper is actually designed to do.

For your case just write:

@Model.OccurrenceDate.ToString("M/d/yyyy")

Answer 4

I found something that worked:

@String.Format("{0:d}", item.OccurrenceDate)
