Following viewmodel used in a view is supposed to display a StartDate as, say 9/30/2015. But it is displaying as 9/30/2015 12:00:00 AM. How can I make it display without time while using DataAnnotaion? I know I can use @Model.StartDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyy") inside view to display date only. But that would mean you have to do it in every view that is using the following ViewModel:
ViewModel:
...
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")]
public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
...
UPDATE
The corresponding model class of the above ViewModel already has the following DataAnnotation that correctly creates the data type in SQL Server table as Date; and when you run a query on the corresponding table in SSMS it correctly displays the StartDate column's data with dates only, say, 9/30/2015 etc.)
Model
...
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
...
StartDate in the sql db is in fact Date only. Moreover, if I run a query on SSMS it correctly returns date only.
