Set DateTimePicker value in ASP.NET MVC Razor

Question

I want to set Bootstrap DateTimePicker value

 @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "ObjectClass", FormMethod.Post, new { }))
{ 
    <div class="col-md-7">
        Du
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => Model.helpVM.date1, new { @class = "dp datepicker", @value = DateTime.Now })
        Au
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => Model.helpVM.date2, new { @class = "dp datepicker", @value = DateTime.Now })
}

I've tried this but it gives me no value in the view page.

instead of @value = ... try @Value = ... instead of small v use capital V — Kartikeya Khosla

Set the values of helpVM.date1 and helpVM.date2 in the controller. — user3559349

Change @value to Value.

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.helpVM.date1, new { @class = "dp datepicker", Value = DateTime.Now })

And when you post and return the view - what ever date the user entered gets wiped out and reset to DateTime.Now!

Yes I agree i just wanted to simplify the code to share with you , i normaly send value via session variable.

@drexdrex, @Html.TextBoxFor() binds to the value of model property. If the value of the property is DateTime.Now, then that is what will be displayed.

Yes it works. Setting the value as model value

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.ToDate, new { @class = "datepicker", placeholder = "Enter From date here...", Value = Model.ToDate })

sets back the date field with the changed model value
