    <p>I have the following route mapped in my test MVC3 project -</p> <pre><code>routes.MapRoute( "TestRoute", "test/{DateFrom}/{DateTo}", new { controller = "Home", action = "TestRoute" } ); </code></pre> <p>I am then building a link in the view as follows -</p> <pre><code>@Html.ActionLink("Test Link", "TestRoute", new { DateFrom = new DateTime(2006, 02, 16), DateTo = new DateTime(2008, 04, 22) }) </code></pre> <p>Which when rendered, outputs this URL -</p> <pre><code>/test/02/16/2006%2000%3a00%3a00/04/22/2008%2000%3a00%3a00 </code></pre> <p>As you can see, the framework has called <code>ToString()</code> on the <code>DateTime</code> parameters and then encoded the result.</p> <p>I would like to <strong>format the DateTime route parameters so they are output as "yyyy-MM-dd"</strong>. </p> <p>Obviously I can specify the format when building the Action Link like so -</p> <pre><code>@Html.ActionLink("Test Link", "TestRoute", new { DateFrom = new DateTime(2006, 02, 16).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"), DateTo = new DateTime(2008, 04, 22).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") }) </code></pre> <p>However we know this is messy, cumbersome and not DRY.</p> <p>I have tried using <code>[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd-MM-yyyy}")]</code> attribute on the properties in the model hoping this was the answer, however it seems these are only respected when building editor forms.</p> <p>FYI, if I manually type the <code>DateTime</code> parameters in the URL in my browser (e.g. /test/2006-02-16/2008-04-22) the parameters are correctly parsed, so it's just a case of getting them formatted how I want.</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).
