You'll need to create an EditorTemplate in your Views\Shared\EditorTemplate folder. Name it DateTime.cshtml. Should look something like the following:

@model System.DateTime?
 

    @Html.Label("")


    @Html.TextBox("", String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}",(Model == DateTime.MinValue)? null : Model), new { @class="text"})

Use it as follows:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Member.Dob)
