Question

I’m trying to set id and name for @Html.EditorFor, but this isn’t working:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.value, new { @id = "testid1", @name="testname1"})

How do I set id and name?

Answer 1

EditorFor does not allow for adding htmlAttributes. For the specific types of editors you’ll have to use TextBoxFor (or whatever type you’re using).

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.value, new { id = "testid1", name="Testname1" })

You can also create a custom editor template for the particular type you’re creating an editor for.
