MVC4 input field placeholder

Question

Does MVC4 by default support placeholders for generated input fields? I didn\'t found anything so I am trying to implement my own but unfortunately

Answer 1

I did so

Field in model:

[Required]
[Display(Name = "User name")]
public string UserName { get; set; }

Razor:

  @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName, new { placeholder = Html.DisplayNameFor(n => n.UserName)})
