If your data field is already a DateTime datatype  you don t need to use  DataType DataType Date   for the annotation  just use    DisplayFormat ApplyFormatInEditMode   true  DataFormatString     0 MM dd yyyy       on the jQuery  use datepicker for you calendar        document  ready function                  StartDate   datepicker              on your HTML  use EditorFor helper        Html EditorFor model   gt  model StartDate

In mvc 4 you can easily do it like following using TextBoxFor     Html TextBoxFor m   gt  m StartDate    0 MM dd yyyy    new    class    form-control default-date-picker       So  you don t need to use any data annotation in model or view model class

set your property using below code at the time of model creation i think your problem will be solved  and the time are not appear in database you dont need to add any annotation   private DateTime  dob          public DateTime  DOB                       get                               if  dob    null                                        return dob Value Date                                    else                                       return null                                               set   dob   value
