ASP.NET MVC3 formatting DateTime

Question

Hi I'm new to MVC3 and if run into a little problem I can't seem so solve.

I have a value in one of my table's that represents the national holiday of a country. So it only contains a day and a month. Now I'm unable to find a way to set my entities validations this way it only accepts a day/month combination.

I tried using

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

But then it would only show the days correctly and alwayse make the months "00"

Anyone know how to fix this?

keyword "DateTime MVC3 ASP format". mm means minutes

mm means minutes in a DateTime format string. Use MM instead for months.
