Data Annotation

C# provides data Annotation features. For example, a date needs to be stored in the dd/mm/yy in database & while displaying it in the format dd/mm/yyyy with some built in functions and without any manual conversion.

Here is the Model defined that you can use in your project:

 public class Example
{
string _date = "50612";
public string date
{
get
{

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(this._date, "ddMMyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
return dt.ToString("dd MMM yyyy");
}
set
{
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(value, "dd MMM yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
this._date = dt.ToString("ddMMyy");
}
}
}
