Question

I have a lot of repeated code in my asp.net MVC views

    <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.MyProperty)
    </div>
    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.MyProperty)
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.MyProperty)
    </div>

I want to wrap this in something like:

foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo item in Model.GetType().GetProperties())

and reuse the same partial view throughout. But I can’t get the syntax quite right.

How can I make this more generic?

Answer 1

This is what Display and EditorTemplates are for.

You need only do @Html.EditorForModel() and then define a generic template for your model.
