Use Short Date string in html textbox mvc

I have a model as Follows, I am using Linq to SQL

public class CustomerDetails
    {
        public Customer customer { get; set; }

    }

"Customer" is populated from a single customer from the database. Customer has a field "NextEmailDate". I want to bind this to a textBox but only show the date and not the time

@Html.TextBoxFor(m=> m.Customer.NextEmailDate)

But I get a text box with the text 16/09/2012 00:00:00 how do I make this just 16/09/2012?

I know mvc 3 is tagged, but mvc 4 has additional parameter "format" for Html.TextBox

Assuming Customer is your actual entity, introduce a view model and pass that to your view instead. That way you can decorate it with all the formatting/validation attributes you need e.g.

public class CustomerViewModel
{
    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Next email date is required!")]
    [DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"]
    public DateTime NextEmailDate { get; set; }
    ...
}

public class CustomerDetails
{
    public CustomerViewModel Customer { get; set; }
}

You can map the properties manually or use a library like AutoMapper.

<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Customer.NextEmailDate, new { @Value = m.Customer.NextEmailDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") })%>

Add this annotation to the NextEmailDate property.

[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")]

If NextEmailDate is a DateTime, you could use NextEmailDate.ToShortDateString(). If isn't isn't a DateTime, you'll have to tell me what it is.
