show only the date in @Html.EditorFor helper

by

You need to use the ISO format when using type="date"

[DataType(DataType.Date, ErrorMessage="Date only")]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public DateTime? YearBought { get; set; }

This will display the date in the browsers culture.

Note there is no need to add @type = "date". The EditorFor() method will add that because of the DataType attribute. Note also that type="date" is only supported in Chrome (FireFox and IE will just generate a normal textbox)

If you do want to display the format dd/MM/yyyy in a standard textbox then you can use

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.YearBought, "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")
