HTML output differs between deployed and local

In my Person model I got birthdate property:

[DisplayName("Date of Birth")]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:d}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }

In Edit view I got birth date input field displayed:

  <div class="form-group">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.BirthDate, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="col-md-10">
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.BirthDate, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.BirthDate, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
            </div>
        </div>

On localhost it produces HTML:

<input class="form-control text-box single-line valid" data-val="true" data-val-date="The field Date of Birth must be a date." data-val-required="Pole Date of Birth jest wymagane." id="BirthDate" name="BirthDate" type="date" value="2014-10-02">

and the value of the field is displayed in the browser after the page is loaded: enter image description here

I published my application but the produced HTML is slightly different. It doesn't contain the word valid and the value format is different:"2/5/2015" instead of "2014-10-02".

<input class="form-control text-box single-line" data-val="true" data-val-date="The field Date of Birth must be a date." data-val-required="The Date of Birth field is required." id="BirthDate" name="BirthDate" type="date" value="2/5/2015">

This causes that the date is not displayed in the input field until I set it by datepicker.

enter image description here

I want it to behave the same way as locally deployed app.

I am based in Poland, The application was deployed to the myasp.net servers which I bet are in Anglo-Saxon country with different date format. Is this might be a problem?

I think you should set your culture in your webProject manually. By this the culture settings on the deployment server won't be applied.

web.config

<globalization uiCulture="pl" culture="pl-PL" />

see MSDN - How to: Set the Culture and UI Culture for ASP.NET Web Page Globalization

If you are concerned about globalization of your project you can change the culture of a single page too

yourPage.aspx

<%@ Page UICulture="pl" Culture="pl-PL" %>

If you don't won't this either you can set a custom dataFormatString rather than pointing to a standard format string which applies to a cultureSetting.

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }
