ReleaseDate data not persisting in Edit View ASP.NET MVC - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have the following Index view:
#model IEnumerable<MVCMovie3.Models.Movie>
#{
ViewData["Title"] = "Index";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
<p>
<a asp-action="Create">Create New</a>
</p>
<form asp-controller="Movies" asp-action="Index">
<p>
Title: <input type="text" name="SearchString">
<input type="submit" value="Filter" />
</p>
</form>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Title)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Genre)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.ReleaseDate)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Rating)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Price)
</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Title)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Genre)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.ReleaseDate)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Rating)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Price)
</td>
<td>
<a asp-action="Edit" asp-route-id="#item.ID">Edit</a> |
<a asp-action="Details" asp-route-id="#item.ID">Details</a> |
<a asp-action="Delete" asp-route-id="#item.ID">Delete</a>
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
And here is the "Edit" view listed in the Index view:
#model MVCMovie3.Models.Movie
#{
ViewData["Title"] = "Edit";
}
<h2>Edit</h2>
<form asp-action="Edit">
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>Movie</h4>
<hr />
<div asp-validation-summary="ValidationSummary.ModelOnly" class="text-danger"></div>
<input type="hidden" asp-for="ID" />
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Genre" class="col-md-2 control-label"></label>
<div class="col-md-10">
<input asp-for="Genre" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="Genre" class="text-danger" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Price" class="col-md-2 control-label"></label>
<div class="col-md-10">
<input asp-for="Price" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="Price" class="text-danger" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Rating" class="col-md-2 control-label"></label>
<div class="col-md-10">
<input asp-for="Rating" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="Rating" class="text-danger" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="ReleaseDate" class="col-md-2 control-label"></label>
<div class="col-md-10">
<input asp-for="ReleaseDate" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="ReleaseDate" class="text-danger" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Title" class="col-md-2 control-label"></label>
<div class="col-md-10">
<input asp-for="Title" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="Title" class="text-danger" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<div>
<a asp-action="Index">Back to List</a>
</div>
#section Scripts {

My problem is that everything shows fine on the Index view but when I click the link to bring up the Edit view the release date is gone. Any suggestions?
Also, here is my model that I generated the views off of:
using System;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
namespace MVCMovie3.Models
{
public class Movie
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Genre { get; set; }
public string Rating { get; set; }
public decimal Price { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "ReleaseDate")]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }
}
}
In playing around with it I've found that if I take off the [Display(Name.... and [DisplayType.... parts then it runs fine, except now my release date is not in the format I want it to be in. Help please.....

Answer 1

For now the only fix that i have found is to change the following code:
[Display(Name = "Release Date")]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd-MM-yyyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }
To:
[Display(Name = "Release Date")]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd-MM-yyyy}")]
public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }
This is, to remove the ApplyFormatInEditMode = true from the DisplayFormat line.
No the less as i mentioned before this would make the DatePicker field to show a date format in the form dd-MM-yyyy (the default one) and not the one you selected.
