Date field with wrong value

Question

I have the date fields:

 @Html.EditorFor(model => model.DataInicio, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control input-sm", @placeholder = "DD/MM/AAAA hh:mm" } })
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.DataFim, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control input-sm", @placeholder = "DD/MM/AAAA hh:mm" } })

And the Javascript:

$(function () {
    $('#DataInicio').datetimepicker();
    $('#DataFim').datetimepicker({
        useCurrent: true //Important! See issue #1075
    });
    $("#DataInicio").on("dp.change", function (e) {
        $('#DataFim').data("DateTimePicker").minDate(e.date);
    });
    $("#DataFim").on("dp.change", function (e) {
        $('#DataInicio').data("DateTimePicker").maxDate(e.date);
    });
});

And it was setting normally for the current time but now it starts with the values:

01/01/0001 00:00

Arrows...

Some mistake in the Javascript or in the HTML?

Answer 1

Usually this happens when the value is null, either from the bank or when the Viewmodel. I usually set my dates as nullable.

public DateTime? DataWhetever { get; set; }
