This answer uses the jQuery UI Datepicker  which is a separate include   There are other ways to do this without including jQuery UI   First  you simply need to add the datepicker class to the textbox  in addition to form-control    lt div class  form-group input-group-sm  gt       Html LabelFor model   gt  model DropOffDate       Html TextBoxFor model   gt  model DropOffDate  new    class    form-control datepicker   placeholder    Enter Drop-off date here             Html ValidationMessageFor model   gt  model DropOffDate   lt  div gt    Then  to be sure the javascript is triggered after the textbox is rendered  you have to put the datepicker call in the jQuery ready function    lt script type  text javascript  gt        function         will trigger when the document is ready            datepicker   datepicker      Initialise any date pickers          lt  script gt

This answer simply applies the type date attribute to the HTML input element and relies on the browser to supply a date picker   Note that even in 2017  not all browsers provide their own date picker  so you may want to provide a fall back   All you have to do is add attributes to the property in the view model  Example for variable Ldate    DataType DataType Date    DisplayFormat DataFormatString     0 yyyy-MM-dd    ApplyFormatInEditMode   true   Public DateTime Ldate  get set     Assuming you re using MVC 5 and Visual Studio 2013
