Is it possible to display a DateTime value in dd/mm/yyyy format with the help of HTML Helper methods in Asp.NET MVC? I tried to do this by using some formats in @Html.LabelFor and adding some annotations to the related property like below but it does not make any sense. Any help to solve this problem would be appreciated.

Model: 

[DataType(DataType.Date)]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public Nullable<System.DateTime> RegistrationDate { get; set; }

All you have to do is apply the format you want in the html helper call, ie.

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

You don't need to provide the date format in the model class.
