Set value to input type="date" from codebehind

Question

I want to assign value to my HTML tag input type="date" from C# codebehind in ASP.NET web application. After page is loaded, the value is not visible, but in chrome dev tools i can see the value:

ASPX:

<input type="date" runat="server" id="date_datumPrispetja" value="dd. MM. yyyy" />

Codebehind:

string date = myDate.ToString("dd. MM. yyyy"); //value of date: "09. 04. 2017";
date_datumPrispetja.Value = date;

Is this is even possible, to assign value from codebehind to this HTML5 element?

---

EDIT:

Compare on datetime and date input type. C#:

date_datumPrispetja.Value = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd. MM. yyyy");
hi.Value = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd. MM. yyyy");

ASPX:

<input type="date"  runat="server" id="date_datumPrispetja" value="dd. MM. yyyy"/>
<br />
<input type="datetime" runat="server" id="hi" value="dd. MM. yyyy" />

RESULT:

Answer 1

I think it should be work, where did you put this code in:

string date = myDate.ToString("dd. MM. yyyy"); //value of date: "09. 04. 2017";
date_datumPrispetja.Value = date;

Page_Load()?

My test code as bellow:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        hi.Value = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
    }

Then it worked well.

This Worked for me.

TextBox.Text = Convert.ToDateTime('01-01-2020').Date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
