Answer 1

Decorate the property in your model with the DataType attribute, and specify that its a Date, and not a DateTime:

public class Model {
  [DataType(DataType.Date)]
  public DateTime? Due { get; set; }
}

You do have to use EditorFor instead of TextBoxFor in the view as well:

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.Due)
