Question

Ultimately I would like to have calculated fields like Weight * Price.

Suppose I have in my MVC3 view:

    @Html.TextBoxFor(modelItem => item.Package.USDKg)
    @Html.HiddenFor(modelItem => item.Pricing.VolumePrice)

Am I able to calculate these directly? Or resort to JQuery?
I would really like to keep pricing “hidden” even in source view if possible.

Basically, when a user enters their package weight, a price would be displayed (calculated off of hidden price point values).

Thank you for your guidance.

Having a razor, you could do a logic just inside the mark up!

@{
   var value = model.Item.Value;
   var price = model.Item.Proce;
   var calculated = value * price;
}

<div class="price>Your price: @calculated</div>
