Question

Goal:
Display a website to fill out a form and also be enable to make a validation before clicking on the send button.

problem:
The code [ScaffoldColumn(false)] doesn’t work when I use <%: Html.EditorForModel() %> in the view.

Questions:
What should I do?

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" 
 Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<MvcMusicStore.Models.Order>" %> 


<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server"> 
    Address and Payment 
</asp:Content> 

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">

Answer 1

it doesn’t work because your view is not strongly typed to anything.

it should be

<%@ Page ... Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<Order>" %> 

also if you would have an Order.ascx in your editor templates, the ScaffoldColumn would also don’t do anything
