I'd like to set a default value to my model in Controller, But It cannot display in create page.
TestModel code:
public class TestModel
{
[DataType(DataType.DateTime), Required]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "yyyy/MM/dd", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
[DataType(DataType.DateTime), Required]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "yyyy/MM/dd", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
Controller code:
public ActionResult Create()
{
var model = new TestModel();
model.StartTime = DateTime.Now;
model.EndTime = DateTime.Now.AddDays(10);
model.Description = "This is a default value";
return View(model);
}
View page:
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.StartTime, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.StartTime)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.StartTime)
</div>
</div>
But the display is not correct that it is has no default datetime
value, but the description default value is display correct:
Your razor would be as follows:
@Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Date, "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}", new { @class = "form-control",@type = "date"})
You need to have model class property like below :
[DataType(DataType.Date), Required]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy/MM/dd}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
[DataType(DataType.Date), Required]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy/MM/dd}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
When you decorate a model property with [DataType(DataType.Date)]
the default template in ASP.NET MVC
generates an input field of type="date"
.
