Question

I am new to MVC and have not found a solution for this online.

I have the html as :

@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Address1) <br />

I want all the first letter of address1 to be capital letters e.g. Something Road instead of something road.

Now I have a class client and property Address1 and using EF to get the address as follow:

 public class MyDBContext : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<Client> Clients { get; set; }
    }

Hope it makes sense.

Answer 1

It’s best to keep the presentation layer and the data access layer separate. Create a view model that wraps or translates the ORM / entity framework objects.

public class ClientViewModel
{
    private Client _dao;

    public ClientViewModel(Client dao)
    {
        _dao = dao;
    }

    public string Address 
    { 
        get
        {
            // modify the address as needed here
            return _dao.Address;
        }
    }
}
