I would highly suggest using a Datepicker instead.

Use ModelBinders like i hope i will help you

VB

ModelBinders.Binders[typeof(DateTime)]  = new DateTimeModelBinder()
{
  Date = "Date", // Date parts are not splitted in the View
                 // (e.g. the whole date is held by a TextBox  with id "xxx_Date")
  Time = "Time", // Time parts are not  splitted in the View
                 // (e.g. the whole time  is held by a TextBox with id "xxx_Time")
  Day = "Day",
  Month = "Month",
  Year = "Year",
  Hour = "Hour",
  Minute = "Minute",
  Second = "Second"
};

Solution 1

You can set a common date format in MVC like below

C#

[DisplayName("date of birth")]
   [DataType(DataType.Date)]
   [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{dd/MM/yyyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
   public DateTime? Birth { get; set; }

Hope this helps
