Hey!

So I've been trying to format the output of my Umbraco.Date property. The date is extracted from a selection of content pages, and is to be posted on my frontpage alongside with other content from those content pages.

All of this is gathered in a PartialViewMacro.

Alias of my Umbraco.Date property: releaseDate

Format I need: dd-MM-yyyy

What I can get it to output: M/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a

I've tried using .ToString("dd-MM-yyyy"), but with no success.

I've tried adding <DateTime> at the end of my .GetPropertyValue

And I've tried with .getProperty("releaseDate").Value.ToString and others.

None of them seem to work, in my case.

Current code:

   @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@{ 
    var selection = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf().Descendants().Where(x => x.IsVisible() && x.DocumentTypeAlias == "randomAlias").OrderBy("UpdateDate desc").Take(6);
}
<section id="randomID">
@if (selection != null) {
    <h2>randomHeader</h2>
    <ul class="clearfix">
        @foreach (var item in selection)
        {
            var logo = item.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("image");
            if(logo != null)
            {
                <li class="randomClasses">
                    <a href="@item.Url">
                        <p class="randomHeader2">@item.GetPropertyValue("h1")</p>
                        <img src="@logo.Url" alt='@item.GetPropertyValue("imgalt")' />
                        <div class="pressCat">@item.Parent.Name</div>
                        <div class="releaseDate">@item.GetPropertyValue("releaseDate")</div>
                    </a>
                </li>
            }
        }
    </ul>
}
</section>

Was hoping any of you could see what I've been doing wrong. Most likely something very silly I've missed, but I can't seem to find the problem.

Hope anyone's able to solve this for me.

Thanks in advance!
