title: Asp.net web API datetime format
body: <p>I have a Winform client that sends a json post request to my controller with a datetime value of the format dd/MM/yyyy and the call returns a status code 400.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to add:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;globalization uiCulture="fr" culture="fr-FR" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to my web.config file but it's still not working. </p>
  
  <p>Edit:
  I should add also That I have no control over the client and that I added:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd/mm/yyyy}")]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to my model with no result</p>
