Microsoft IIS Express

You can find the appcmd.exe for IIS Express in the C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express folder.
You can use it to list the websites:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express>appcmd list site

If the names of the websites do not tell too much, then you can list the virtual directories, because that list shows the physical paths as well:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express>appcmd list vdir

You can even give them meaningful names by renaming them:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express>appcmd set site WebSite1(1) -name:Master
SITE object "WebSite1(1)" changed

And you can delete the sites you do not need any more:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express>appcmd delete site WebSite2
SITE object "WebSite2" deleted

Razor: Issues With Date Handling

    // In MVC4 These DataAnnotations Are All You Should Need
    [DataType(DataType.DateTime)] 
    [DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}")]
    public System.DateTime TODAY { get; set; }

    // To be certain adding type="datetime"
    @Html.TextBoxFor( model => model.TODAY,  
                                 "{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}", 
                                 new { type="datetime", 
                                          @data_bind = "value: formtoday", @class= "inputS" })
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.TODAY)


    // Assuming
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/moment")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryui")

    // In the knockout model:
      
    $("input[type='datetime']").datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd-M-yy" });  
   
    // Before:  ko.bindingHandlers.dateString  

    // Expansion Of Razor:
    <input class="inputS" data-bind="value: formtoday" 
            data-val="true" data-val-date="The field TODAY must be a date." 
            data-val-required="The TODAY field is required." 
            id="TODAY" name="TODAY" type="datetime" value="" />
    <span class="field-validation-valid" data-valmsg-for="TODAY" data-valmsg-replace="true"></span>
