DateTime.Now in Model C# ASP.NET MVC 4

Anonymous User 7221 06-Mar-2014

I have created a model for Articles, and in the articles I am trying to implement a date created on initial create.

//Model

[Display(Name = "Date Created")]

public DateTime dateCreated

{

get { return DateTime.Now; }

}

It works well when I create an article, but it also sets the same date time value to all the other articles. :/

Is there a way around this?

Hi Samuel,

Here's what you need:

private DateTime? dateCreated;
public DateTime DateCreated
{
    get { return
dateCreated ?? DateTime.Now; }
    set { dateCreated
= value; }
}
