Update: Controller Code:

    /// <summary>
    /// Creates a new entry
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult Create([Bind()]Person person) 
    {
        if (Request.Form["DateOfBirth"].ToString() == "")
        {
            TempData["message"] = "Please select a date of Birth";
            ViewData["DateOfBirth"] = Request.Form["DateOfBirth"].ToString();

            MvcValidationAdapter.TransferValidationMessagesTo(ViewData.ModelState, person.ValidationMessages);
            return View();
        }
        else
        { 

        if (person.IsValid())
        {
            person.DateOfBirth = Convert.ToDateTime(Request.Form["DateOfBirth"]);

            personRepository.SaveOrUpdate(person);
            TempData["message"] = person.Firstname + " was successfully added";
            return RedirectToAction("Create", "OrderDetails", new { id = person.ID });
        }
        else
        {

            ViewData["DateOfBirth"] = Request.Form["DateOfBirth"].ToString();

            MvcValidationAdapter.TransferValidationMessagesTo(ViewData.ModelState, person.ValidationMessages);
            return View();
        }

        }

    }

If you change the action method to have FormCollectionas the last parameter, you can pass an instance FormCollectioncontaining all of your values. The MVC structure will automatically pass values ​​from the form inside this parameter when live starts.

public ActionResult MyMethod(FormCollection form)
{
    // in testing you will pass in a populated FormCollection object
    // at runtime the framework will populate the form parameter with
    // the contents of the posted form
}

.

Edit

:

    /// <summary>
    /// Creates a new entry
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult Create([Bind()]Person person, FormCollection form) 
    {
        if (form["DateOfBirth"].ToString() == "")
        {
            TempData["message"] = "Please select a date of Birth";
            ViewData["DateOfBirth"] = form["DateOfBirth"].ToString();

            MvcValidationAdapter.TransferValidationMessagesTo(
                ViewData.ModelState, person.ValidationMessages);
            return View();
        }
        else
        { 

        if (person.IsValid())
        {
            person.DateOfBirth = Convert.ToDateTime(form["DateOfBirth"]);

            personRepository.SaveOrUpdate(person);
            TempData["message"] = 
                person.Firstname + " was successfully added";
            return RedirectToAction(
                "Create", "OrderDetails", new { id = person.ID });
        }
        else
        {

            ViewData["DateOfBirth"] = form["DateOfBirth"].ToString();

            MvcValidationAdapter.TransferValidationMessagesTo(
                ViewData.ModelState, person.ValidationMessages);
            return View();
        }

        }
