Having trouble with using "DatePicker" in MVC5 application

Question

Here is my code:

 

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.DTE_EFFECTIVE, new { @type = "date", @class = "form-control datepicker", @Value = Model.DTE_EFFECTIVE.ToShortDateString() }) 

 

Here is the page:

 

 

 

The DatePicker worked great.  I was able to select a date and saved to the database.  However, the only thing displayed was mm/dd/yyyy.  How can I get the date to display with the "datepicker"? Thank you for your help.
