MVC @ Html.Display ()

Question

I have something like:

<input type="text" name="TerrMng" id="TerrMng"/> 

in HTML. Which is equivalent to the above using @ Html.Display?

I tried using: @Html.Display("TerrMng", TerrMng)

but failed. Note that I like to use @ Html.Display, but I'm not sure how to translate the ID value so that it displays.

Answer 1

This should do the trick if you just want to display the data and not allow the user to edit the information.

 @Html.DisplayFor(m => m.TerrMng); 

Edit:

what-is-the-html-displayfor-syntax-for is another stackoverflow thread question that can give you some tips.

Edit:

TerrMng does not exist on the Load page, so you cannot use Html.Display . You need to create it and fill its value with the value obtained from jQuery. In this case, you will need to do the following:

HTML

  @Html.Display("TerrMng"); // This creates the label with an id of TerrMng 

JQuery

  $("#TerrMng").val(TerrMng); // This puts the value of the javascript variable into the label 

Answer 2

The Display method is not intended to create input fields. Do you want to use:

 @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.TerrMng); 

or template helper :

 @Html.EditorFor(m => m.TerrMng); 

I assume you want to use model binding. If not, if you really just want to use the helper to easily enter an input tag, use:

 @Html.TextBox("TerrMng"); 

This will be sent to the client:

 <input id="TerrMng" type="text" value="" name="TerrMng"> 

The first two methods above will result in the same html if model.TerrMng was "" or String.Empty . If for some reason you do not need the value attribute, you need to enter it yourself.

Answer 3

You can try something on this basis. This is not accurate, but you might think.

 @Html.TextBoxFor(yourmodel => model.yourModelFieldname, null)
