C# - Format date within View in ASP.NET Core MVC

In ASP.NET Core MVC, you can format a date within a view using the @ symbol followed by the ToString method with a format string. Here's how you can do it:

Suppose you have a model with a DateTime property named DateOfBirth:

public class UserModel { public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; } // Other properties }

And you pass an instance of this model to your view:

public IActionResult Index() { var user = new UserModel { DateOfBirth = DateTime.Parse("1990-05-15") }; return View(user); }

In your view (Index.cshtml for example), you can format the DateOfBirth property using @Model.DateOfBirth.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"):

@model UserModel <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Format Date Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>User Information</h1> <p>Date of Birth: @Model.DateOfBirth.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")</p> </body> </html>

In this example:

  • @Model.DateOfBirth.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") formats the DateOfBirth property of the model using the specified format string "MM/dd/yyyy", which represents the date in the format month/day/year (e.g., 05/15/1990).
  • You can adjust the format string ("MM/dd/yyyy") to match the desired date format. For example, you can use "dd/MM/yyyy" for day/month/year format.

This way, the date will be displayed in the specified format in your view.
