Update generated Pages

In this tutorial, you're going to learn how to update the generated pages. For example, suppose you want to remove the time from the release date.

1. Open the Models/Movie.cs file.

2. Replace the contents of the Movie.cs file with the following code:

   namespace RazorPagesMovie.Models;
   
   public class Movie
   {
       public int ID { get; set; }
       public string? Title { get; set; }
   
       [Display(Name = "Release Date")]
       [DataType(DataType.Date)]
       public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }
       
       public string? Genre { get; set; }
   
       [Column(TypeName = "decimal(18, 2)")]
       public decimal Price { get; set; }
   }

• Right click on a red line and select Quick Actions and Refactorings on the [Display] attribute.

  

1. Select using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;.

   

2. Right click on the remaining red line, select Quick Actions and Refactorings on the [Column] attribute.

3. Select using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;.

4. Run the application by selecting Debug > Start without Debugging on the main menu.
