Controller methods and views

We have a good start to the movie app, but the presentation is not ideal. We don’t want to see the time (12:00:00 AM in the image below) and ReleaseDate should be two words.

Index view: Release Date is one word (no space) and every movie release date shows a time of 12 AM

Open the Models/Movie.cs file and add the highlighted lines shown below:

[!code-csharpMain]

   1:  #if AddDate

   2:  #region snippet_1

   3:  using System;

   4:  using System.Collections.Generic;

   5:  using System.Linq;

   6:  using System.Threading.Tasks;

7:

   8:  namespace MvcMovie.Models

   9:  {

  10:      public class Movie

  11:      {

  12:          public int ID { get; set; }

  13:          public string Title { get; set; }

14:

  15:          [Display(Name = "Release Date")]

  16:          [DataType(DataType.Date)]

  17:          public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }

  18:          public string Genre { get; set; }

  19:          public decimal Price { get; set; }

  20:      }

  21:  }

  22:  #endregion

  23:  #endif

Right click on a red squiggly line > Quick Actions and Refactorings.

Contextual menu shows > Quick Actions and Refactorings. — Contextual menu shows **> Quick Actions and Refactorings**.

Tap using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations at top of list

Visual studio adds using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;.

Let’s remove the using statements that are not needed. They show up by default in a light grey font. Right click anywhere in the Movie.cs file > Remove and Sort Usings.

The updated code:

[!code-csharpMain]

   1:  //#define AddDate

   2:  #if AddDate

   3:  #region snippet_1

   4:  using System;

   5:  using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

6:

   7:  namespace MvcMovie.Models

   8:  {

   9:      public class Movie

  10:      {

  11:          public int ID { get; set; }

  12:          public string Title { get; set; }

13:

  14:          [Display(Name = "Release Date")]

  15:          [DataType(DataType.Date)]

  16:          public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }

  17:          public string Genre { get; set; }

  18:          public decimal Price { get; set; }

  19:      }

  20:  }

  21:  #endregion

  22:  #endif
