  @Html.DisplayFor not working

  Apr 23, 2012 03:23 PM|LINK

  Hello,

  I have the following problem that I don’t know how fix:

  I cannot display a time field correctly, with a template that I’m using @Html.DisplayFor

  I can display correctly when I use @Html.TextBox, but I don’t want to display in textbox.

  Please help.

   

  Here is the code:

  Details.cshtml
  
  <div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; color: #0000FF;">
          <br />
          <br />
          <br />
          @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Mon_Start_time) <br />
          
          @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Mon_Start_time)
          @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Mon_Start_time)
          </div>
  
          <div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; color: #0000FF;">
          <br />
          <br />
          <br />
          @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Mon_End_time) <br />
          @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Mon_End_time)
          @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Mon_End_time)
          </div>
  
  
  
  
  Time.cshtml
  @model Nullable<DateTime>
  
   @{
      DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
      if (Model != null)
      {
         dt  = (System.DateTime) Model;
     
      }
      
  If I use this TextBox I got the time displayed but I do not want to display in textbox
  @Html.TextBox("", String.Format("{0:HH:mm}", dt.ToShortTimeString()), new { @class = "datefield", type = "time"  })
      
       
       
  If I use this code the time does not display at all
       
  @Html.DisplayFor((model => model), String.Format("{0:HH:mm}", dt.ToShortTimeString()), new { @class = "datefield", type = "time" })
       
  
    }

  I'm sorry that did not explain this more correctly. My entries are going to be for Monday through Frinday with starting and ending time eg: Mon_Start_time, Mon_End_time, Tue_start_time, Tue_End_time, etc, etc.

  I know that this "@Html.DisplayFor((model => model), String.Format("{0:HH:mm}", dt.ToShortTimeString()), new { @class = "datefield", type = "time" })" is not correct and that your suggestion I already coded before posting my problem. It does not work anyways when I do that it gives me an error message. But I don’t wan to code for every entry, it has to be something more general like when I do it for @Html.TextBox where I don not specify the field name.

  hi,

  @item.Date.ToString("HH:mm")

  or you could use the [DisplayFormat] attribute on your view model:

  [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:HH:mm}")]

  pubilc DateTime Date { get; set }

  ______________________________________________________________________________________

  and in your view simply:

  @Html.DisplayFor(x => x.Date)

  By doing this:

  @Html.DisplayFor((model => model.Value.TimeOfDay), String.Format("{0:HH}", dt.ToShortTimeString()), new { @class = "datefield", type = "time" })

   I getting the time but with the incorrect format.

  I need to get only the HH:mm and not HH:MM:SS. Obviously the code “String.Format("{0:HH}" is getting ignored.

  Please advice.

  tusharrs,

  Thanks for your response.

  Unfortunately it does not work.

  I have tried your suggestion 

  @Html.DisplayFor((model => model.Value.TimeOfDay), String.Format("{0:HH:mm}", dt.ToShortTimeString()))

  and also the one below (which is basically the same that I use for @htm.TextBox), without any positive result

   @Html.DisplayFor((model => model.Value.TimeOfDay), String.Format("{0:HH:mm}", dt.ToShortTimeString()), new { @class = "datefield", type = "time" }) 

  I do not understand why the formatting is ignored.

  You need to do the following
  
    <span>
      @Html.DisplayFor((modelItem => item.date.Value.Hour))
      </span>:
      <span>
      @Html.DisplayFor((modelItem => item.date.Value.Minute))
      </span>

  legaleagle,

  Thanks for your response. 

  The problem that I am having now is the format.

   

                                                  Starting   Ending  Worked Hours  Indirect Hours

   

  Monday :            3/26/2012        8 :0      16 :0                 8                      0

  
  Tuesday :           3/27/2012        9 :0      16 :0                 7                      1

  
  Wednesday :       3/28/2012        10 :0     16 :0                 6                      2

  
  Thursday :          3/29/2012        8 :0      16 :0                 5                      3

  
  Friday :              3/30/2012        8 :0      16 :0                 4                      4

   

   If you noticed, the Hour format is coming "H" or sometimes "HH" and the minutes are always "m"

  I need to format to "HH" for the Hour and "mm" for the minutes.

  I figured out.

   

  @String.Format("{0:HH:mm}", Model)

   

  Thanks for your responses anyway
