Set disable attribute based on a condition for Html.TextBoxFor

Question

I want to set disable attribute based on a condition for Html.TextBoxFor in asp.net MVC like below

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.ExpireDate, new { style         


        

Answer 1

Is solved this using RouteValueDictionary (works fine as htmlAttributes as it's based on IDictionary) and an extension method:

public static RouteValueDictionary AddIf(this RouteValueDictionary dict, bool condition, string name, object value)
{
    if (condition) dict.Add(name, value);
    return dict;
}

Usage:

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.GovId, new RouteValueDictionary(new { @class = "form-control" })
.AddIf(Model.IsEntityFieldsLocked, "disabled", "disabled"))
