In this article I will explain with an example, how to set
type=number in TextBox using
HTML.TextBoxFor and
HTML.TextBox Helper methods in
ASP.Net MVC.
Model
The Model class consists of following property.
public classPersonModel
{
///<summary>
/// Gets or sets Age.
///</summary>
public int Age { get; set; }
}
Controller
The Controller consists of following Action method.
Action method for handling GET operation
Inside this Action method, an object of
PersonModel class is created and is returned to the View. The value of the Name property will be set in the
TextBox created using
Html.TextBoxFor and
Html.TextBox helper methods.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
// GET: Home
public ActionResult Index()
{
PersonModel person = new PersonModel
{
Age = 30
};
return View(person);
}
}
View
HTML Markup
Inside the View, in the very first line the PersonModel class is declared as Model for the View.
The View consists of two
HTML INPUT
TextBoxes created using
Html.TextBoxFor and
Html.TextBox Html Helper methods.
Html.TextBoxFor
The
TextBox created using
Html.TextBoxFor is set with following properties:
model property – The name of the property is set using Lambda expression:
htmlAttributes – An object that contains the
HTML attributes to set for the element. In this case it is
type=number.
Html.TextBox
The
TextBox created using
Html.TextBox is set with following properties:
name – The name of the form field. In Controller the
TextBox value is captured using this parameter.
value – The value of the text input element.
htmlAttributes – An object that contains the
HTML attributes to set for the element. In this case it is
type=number.
