ASP.NET MVC Calender

Recently i was working on a MVC 2 Project and needed an date picker. I used the Jquery atepicker widget which gave me great control over picking up dates on the TextBox.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<%= Url.Content("http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css") %>" />
  <script src="<%= Url.Content("http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js") %>"></script>
  <script src="<%= Url.Content("http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js") %>"></script>


  <script>
      $(function () {
          $("#DeliveryDate").datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd/MM/yy" }).val()

      });
    </script>

 <% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>

        <%: Html.ValidationSummary(true) %>

        <fieldset>
            <legend>Fields</legend>

  <div class="editor-label">

               <%: Html.LabelFor(model => model.DeliveryDate) %>

            </div>

            <div class="editor-field">

                <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.DeliveryDate) %>

                <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DeliveryDate) %>

            </div>

<% } %>
