I have a field in the database, DataHora, and wanted to display on the screen for the user, but in separate fields, being Date and Time.
First displays the Date
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.DataHora)
Second displays Time
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.DataHora)
I tried to format using the code below, but it did not work ...
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.DataHora, {0:dd/MM/yyyy})
Questions?
Html.DisplayFor() is not meant for date and time separation as you want. The method serves well only for the full use of variable information.
Use, instead:
@item.DataHora.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
and
@item.DataHora.ToString("HH:mm")
I'd rather treat this in view model, example:
public class MyModel
{
public DateTime? DataHora { get; set; }
public string Data
{
get { return DataHora?.ToShortDateString(); }
}
public string Hora { get { return DataHora?.ToShortTimeString(); } }
}
