I'm having trouble trying to write a form with time field using ASP.NET MVC 4.
Model:
class Abcde {
[DataType(DataType.Time)]
public DateTime ATime { get; set; }
}
View.cshtml
...
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.ATime)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.ATime)
The validation always failed when I tried to input a time (hh:nn:ss), and said it was not in the corrent format, so i have to input a date instead.
My Question is should I change the type to TimeSpan? Or is there any other way?
[Required]
[DataType(DataType.Time)]
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:H:mm}")]
public DateTime Time { get; set; }`
Try this, you can format in the DataFormatString the way you want it to work for you, im using it in a project now and it's working for me.
{0:HH:mm} instead of {0:H:mm}Actually this is what worked for me.
[DataType(DataType.Time)]
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:HH:mm}")]
public DateTime Hour { get; set; }
[Required]
[DataType(DataType.Time)]
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:HH:mm}")]
public DateTime Time { get; set; }
This code is correct. But it only works when you use EditorFor instead of TextBoxFor.
Use:
[Required]
[DataType(DataType.Time)]
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:HH:mm:ss}")]
public DateTime FieldTime{ get; set; }
You need to match your date validation with the format that works internally for this annotation. So, adding the ApplyFormat passing a String Pattern you can get it.
