I am doing all what is said on the net to set the date date format but without success.

In my model:

//[DataType(DataType.DateTime)] I TRIED WITH AND WITHOUT THIS LINE
        [Display(Name = "Release Date")]
        [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")]
        public DateTime? ReleaseDate { get; set; }

And in my view, simply

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.ReleaseDate, "{0:dd/mm/yyyy}",new { @class = "form-control text-box single-line" })

I Try to enter May 14th 2016 this way: 14/05/2016 and it doesnt work. To get my "may 14th" I still need to enter 05/14/2016. Can anyone explain me why so it is? Thank you

Try `[DataType(DataType.Date)]` – Mike Debela May 15 '16 at 16:07
See my code, I try with and without – stacy bouchard May 15 '16 at 16:12
`DataType.Date` not `DataType.DateTime` and `[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")]` – Mike Debela May 15 '16 at 16:15
Sorry, just saw "Date" instead of "Datetime". I ve tryed but it doesnt work. And ApplyFormatInEditMode = true neither – stacy bouchard May 15 '16 at 16:17
If I copy the generated html, and remove "data-val-date=..." my format dd/mm/yyyy aplies! But then If the user enter anything, the errror is not catch – stacy bouchard May 15 '16 at 16:23
