Question

i tried to add , new { @Value = “test” } but failed.

then i modify the model to

    private string _location = string.Empty;

    public string location { get { return _location; } set { _location = value; } }

or even change the string.empty into my default text, still failed.

any idea ? Thx

Your solution is good, it should work. But as it does not, i think you are passing null model to your view – in this case it never gets to evaluating location, its null. Try passing non null model to your view.

return View(new LocationViewModel());
