Conditional HTML Attributes using Razor MVC3

Question

The variable strCSSClass often has a value but sometimes is empty.

I do not want to include an empty class=\"\" in this input element\'s HTML, which means if strCSS

Answer 1

I guess a little more convenient and structured way is to use Html helper. In your view it can be look like:

@{
 var htmlAttr = new Dictionary();
 htmlAttr.Add("id", strElementId);
 if (!CSSClass.IsEmpty())
 {
   htmlAttr.Add("class", strCSSClass);
 }
}

@* ... *@

@Html.TextBox("somename", "", htmlAttr)

If this way will be useful for you i recommend to define dictionary htmlAttr in your model so your view doesn't need any @{ } logic blocks (be more clear).
