copied!<p>Will Nick Clarke's answer work when you submit the values on postback? </p> <p>In MVC2 preview 2, calling Html.Textbox("abc", Model.ToString()) will render a textbox with ".abc" appended to the name, e.g. </p> <pre><code><input id="StartDate_abc" name="StartDate.abc" type="text" value="02 Feb 09" /> </code></pre> <p>which will cause problems when you postback and attempt to UpdateModel().</p> <p>I did an editor template for a DateTime, the following works for me:</p> <p>/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/DateTime.ascx:</p> <pre><code><%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<DateTime>" %> <%= Html.TextBox(String.Empty, Model.ToString("dd MMM yy")) %> </code></pre> <p>or, to use jQuery's DatePicker for all your DateTimes add a reference to jQuery and jQueryUI to either your Masterpage or to the View containing the call to EditorFor.</p> <p>/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/DateTime.ascx:</p> <pre><code><%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<DateTime>" %> <%= Html.TextBox("", Model.ToString("dd MMM yy")) %> <script type="text/javascript"> $("#<%= ViewData.ModelMetadata.PropertyName %>").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd M y' }); </script> </code></pre> <p><strong>Update: ASP.NET MVC3</strong>, using the Razor syntax:</p> <pre><code>@model System.DateTime @Html.TextBox("", Model.ToString("dd MMM yy")) <script type="text/javascript"> $("#@ViewData.ModelMetadata.PropertyName").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd M y' }); </script> </code></pre> <p>And to use it all you need in your View is:</p> <pre><code>@Html.EditorFor(model => model.DueDate) </code></pre> <p>-Matt</p>
