ASP.NET MVC 3: Override “name” attribute with TextBoxFor

Question

Is it possible when using Html.TextBoxFor to override the name attribute?

I have tried with no success. I need to use TextBoxFor to get client side vali

Answer 1

@Html.EditorFor(Model => Model.Something, "name", "name", new {@class = "form-control" })

Not sure which of those two string parameters in the middle do the work, but it worked only when I typed both of them.
