html.textbox datetime format

Question

is it possible to format a text box at page level (not viewmodel) so a datetime can exclude the time stamp?

i cant edit the viewmodel in this project.. so i have to pass in to the view the viewmodel containing a datetime property.

<%=Html.TextBox("DateOfBirth", Model.DateOfBirth)%><br />

thanks

Just format your Model.DateOfBirth:

<%=Html.TextBox("DateOfBirth", Model.DateOfBirth.ToShortDateString())%>
