MVC5 date problem

[lg127]

Hi Everyone, me again.

Same project and related date question:

When I CREATE a new record I would like the record field date to default to today's date. I can get other field's to default to a specific value except the date.

In my controller I have used a ViewBag (ViewBag.CURRENTDATE) to hold today's date:


In my view I have to following code:


The output is correct EXCEPT for the DATE fields??!:


Can someone show me where I went wrong?

Thanks.
