ASP.NET MVC 5 renders different bool value for hidden input

问题

Given the following viewmodel:

public class FooViewModel
{
    public bool IsBoolValue { get; set; }
}

and this view:

<input type="hidden" id="Whatever" data-something="@Model.IsBoolValue" value="@Model.IsBoolValue" />

The output of the hidden input field is this:

<input type="hidden" id="Whatever" data-something="True" value="value">

How come the value attribute is not set toTrue, but the data-something attribute is?

Is there a change in MVC 5 that would cause this, since in my MVC 4 apps this problem does not occur.

回答1:

I think I've figured it out.

I believe the Razor viewengine is adhering to the HTML 5 way of setting boolean attributes, as described here:

What does it mean in HTML 5 when an attribute is a boolean attribute?

In HTML 5, a bool attribute is set like this:

<input readonly />

or

<input readonly="readonly" />

So the Razor viewengine takes your model's bool value and will render (in my case) the value attribute if Model.IsBoolValue is true. Otherwise, if it's false then the value attribute is not rendered at all.

EDIT:

As mentioned Zabavsky in the comments, to force the value of True or False to appear in the value attrbiute, simple use ToString():

<input type="hidden" value="@Model.BoolProperty.ToString()" />
