    <p>I am using <em>MVC 4</em> and <em>Razor views</em> and am having trouble understanding why the Edit view on my Date field is not binding properly to the built in jQuery datepicker.</p> <p>The field is of datatype <code>Date</code> in the Database, and <code>DateTime</code> in the domain model. I do not wish to show time, only the date. The field is required and needs formatting.</p> <p>My view looks like this :</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="editor-label"&gt; @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.Appointment.EndDate) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.Appointment.EndDate) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.Appointment.EndDate) &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>If my metadata on this field is</p> <pre><code>[Required(ErrorMessage = "End Date must be a valid date, like 05/13/2016.")] [DataType(DataType.Date)] [Display(Name = "End Date")] [DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")] public object EndDate { get; set; } </code></pre> <p>then my editor output on edit.cshtml is this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;input class="text-box single-line" data-val="true" data-val-date="The field End Date must be a date." data-val-required="End Date must be a valid date, like 05/13/2016." id="Appointment_EndDate" name="Appointment.EndDate" type="date" value="05/09/2013"&gt; </code></pre> <p>this draws a jQuery datepicker BUT WITHOUT SETTING THE VALUE.</p> <p>If I remove the DataType attribute from my metadata and leave everything else the same:</p> <pre><code>[Required(ErrorMessage = "End Date must be a valid date, like 05/13/2016.")] [Display(Name = "End Date")] [DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")] public object EndDate { get; set; } </code></pre> <p>then my editor output is this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;input class="text-box single-line valid" data-val="true" data-val-date="The field End Date must be a date." data-val-required="End Date must be a valid date, like 05/13/2016." id="Appointment_EndDate" name="Appointment.EndDate" **type="datetime"** value="05/09/2013"&gt; </code></pre> <p>this draws a plain text box (no datepicker) with the value properly set.</p> <p>I would like to use the datepicker but set the correct value, how can I do this?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
