I'm trying to get todays datetime (YYYY-MM-DD) to show up as default in my box where I choose date. Any ideas what I can do to show the MAX part as todays date by default. Guess I can create a variable and set it to today's date and use it but are there any easier way, like I'm trying to do it with a max="something"??

 <input type="date" asp-for="MovingAverageViewModel.StartDate" id="StartDateAnvanceradSMA" value="MovingAverageViewModel.StartDate" class="form-control" max="DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();" min="2017-01-01" />

    Not related by remove value="MovingAverageViewModel.StartDate" (never set the value attribute when using a TagHelper - its already done by the helper). And to format it as yyyy-MM-dd then use DateTime.Today.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") Commented Feb 26, 2018 at 10:41
  • the value="MovingAverageViewModel.StartDate" I used as I have multiple boxes with input choices so to know which box this is refering to? Do I need to write the it like max="DateTime.Today.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")" or do I need to use any sort of (); ? Thanks for the help Commented Feb 26, 2018 at 10:50
  • asp-for="MovingAverageViewModel.StartDate" means you binding to the value of your property which add the value attribute (do not set it yourself under any circumstances). As for the maxdate - try it ) Commented Feb 26, 2018 at 11:02

    Thanks Stephen, this syntax did the trick: max="@DateTime.Today.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")" Commented Feb 26, 2018 at 11:43
