DateTime.Date does not work in HTML5

I want do have my DateTime get displayed without the time.

So I use 

item.AD_Date.Date

to cut off the time.

In the Model ( I use MVC) AD_Date is set up like this:

public System.DateTime AD_Date { get; set; }

But I get my date like this:

01.03.2013 00:00:00

What did I do wrong?

The Date property just returns a DateTime with the same date, but at midnight. There's no difference between "a DateTime at midnight" and "a DateTime just representing a date" (unfortunately).

You need to change how your DateTime is formatted to only show the date - either by annotating the model or by changing the view.

(Alternatively, use my Noda Time library which has different types for the different kinds of data you want to represent. I haven't tried using it with MVC, but at least for the formatting side it should work okay...)
