DatePicker in Asp.Net MVC Using Bootstrap and jQuery

Hello everyone!!!

In this article, I would be discussing about how to add DatePicker in your View in the MVC Application using Bootstrap and jQuery.
I am assuming you have knowledge on how to use jQuery , Bootstrap and downloading them in your application or a HTML page.
Ok, Let’s move on….

I have created a WEB APPLICATION in my Visual Studio 2019 using .NET 5.0 and MVC. Just for the article sake I would be showing only the Datepicker Control in the Web application I am going to create.

After creating the Web Application the Folder Structure would be coming up as shown below

I have created a View DatePicker.cshtml.

In the View, add the below code.

DatePicker Code

Don’t forget to add the dependencies (e.g. jQuery, jQuery UI, CSS) as shown below

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.13.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.13.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>

Don’t forget to add the Latest versions of the above dependencies in order to stay up-to-date.

You can play with the datePicker with the additional options which are mentioned in the jQuery API official documentation as given below

Datepicker Widget

Run the Application (Press F5 in the Visual studio).

End Result :
