How do I add placeholder text from the model into a MVC view?

Question

I have a model:

[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
[DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = true)]
[Display(Prompt = \"Email Address\")]
public string Email { ge         


        

Answer 1

you can use it as follows for the date which will also give you a "datetime" picker.

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString ="{0:yyyy-MM-dd}",ApplyFormatInEditMode =true)]
