In MVC razor I am putting current date in the database like this model Returndate DateTime Now Date ToShortDateString Since the database field is a datetime datatype and I am converting the current date to string format this is not working how can I do this I am doing the string format because I want the date in mm dd yyyy format and not in mm dd yyyy hh mm ss time format EDIT In the controller I have var model new ViewModel model ReturnDate DateTime Now return PartialView PartialView model In the partialview I have Html EditorFor model gt model Returndate This is where its displaying the date as Date and Time together I want just the date to be displayed Not the time I hope this edit explains better

Display only date and no time

Just had to deal with this scenario myself - found a really easy way to do this, simply annotate your property in the model like this:

[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public DateTime? SomeDateProperty { get; set; }

It will hide the time button from the date picker too.

Sorry if this answer is a little late ;)
