ASP.NET MVC 3 Razor - Adding class to EditorFor

Question

I\'m trying to add a class to an input.

This is not working:

@Html.EditorFor(x => x.Created, new { @class = \"date\" })

Answer 1

As of ASP.NET MVC 5.1, adding a class to an EditorFor is possible (the original question specified ASP.NET MVC 3, and the accepted answer is still the best with that considered).

@Html.EditorFor(x=> x.MyProperty,
    new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "MyCssClass" } })
