date formatting string in vb mvc

How do I format my vb.net mvc date to a shortdate in my view

    <td>
        <%: Html.DisplayF开发者_如何学编程or(Function(modelItem) currentItem.DateCreated)%>
    </td>

Format(date, "MM/dd/YYYY")

I don't know what modelItem is, but i think you are looking to do this

<td>
    <%: HTML.DisplayFor(Function(modelItem), Format(currentItem.DateCreated, "MM/dd/YYYY")) %>
</td>

Not sure if thats right, i don't really know what Html.DisplayFor actually does. I've never ran into that before. But the Format(yourdate, shortdateformat) will definitely work
