Format date picker property

I'm using MVC Razor.

I have my date picker field with:

@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("date");

How do I now format it? I want dd-MM-yyyy.

I cant' make .ToString("dd-MM-yyyy") work.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Roger

Use the Umbraco Helper.
```
umbraco.library.FormatDateTime(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("date").ToString(), "dd-MM-yyyy")
```

Value Converter approach if you prefer to use built-in .net helpers.
```
DateTime date = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("date");
```
and in your view
```
<p>Date: @date.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")</p>
```
