DataType(DataType.Date) format (MVC)

Question

Can we apply somehow the format for this?

[Display(Name = "Date of Birthday")]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public DateTime DOB { get; set; }

I'd like to see only Date and not Time.

Thank you!

You can use the DisplayFormatAttribute

Specifies how data fields are displayed and formatted by ASP.NET Dynamic Data.

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd MMM yyyy}")]
[Display(Name = "Date of Birthday")]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public DateTime DOB { get; set; }
