I created an EF4.1 code-first model (may or may not be important), and I\'m trying to get default values for my Create scaffold template. My model looks like:
Assuming that your view has a definition such as:-
@model Person
and your controllers HTML GET returns an empty View
return View();
Then simply add a class that can be rendered that contains default values
return View(new Person{ Age = 18 });
Another option is to add a singleton static helper to your Person class that returns a default, populated class
static public Person GetDefaultNew()
{
return new Person{ Age = 18 };
}
Then you need
return View(new Person.GetDefaultNew());
