Why does the datetimepicker give month name instead of number?

Question

I'm trying to use DateTimePicker in my application. I create Date.cshtml under the View/Shared/EditorTemplates folder and it consist something like this:

@model System.DateTime

@Html.TextBox("", Model.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy"),
new {@class = "tanggal", @maxlength = "10"})

then I create EditorHookup.js file under the script folder with the content like this:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.tanggal').datepicker({
        dateFormat: 'dd-MM-yyyy'
    });
});

I expect to get the result to be like this: 01-01-2012 but the result is: 01-January-20122012

What should I do to fix that?

Use mm for month instead of MM. See here: http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker/formatDate

E.g.:

dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'     //notice the year format also has been changed, per Izkata's comment

Also, use 'yy' instead of 'yyyy'

If I change MM to mm in Date.cshtml, the month will be 00

@Tanu, sorry, the change needs to be made in the jQuery call: dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'.

Hi, Thanks for the help. I have made a changes in my .js file to 'dd-mm-yy', the month result is changed, but the year still double (01-01-20122012)

@Tanu, be sure the year is yy, not yyyy. See the documenation referenced.

Double-check the documentation for your datepicker, specifically regarding the code for month. I'd guess that you want something like mm instead of MM.
