I\'ve tried things like....

Answer 1

try with @disabled and jquery, in that way you can get the value on the Controller.

Html.DropDownList("Types", Model.Types, new {@class = "your_class disabled", @disabled= "disabled" })

Add a class called "disabled" so you can enabled by searching that class(in case of multiples disabled fields), then you can use a "setTimeout" in case of not entering controller by validation attributes

submit button like this.

 Save

in case of inputs, just use @readonly="readonly"

@Html.TextBoxFor("Types",Model.Types, new { @class = "form-control", @readonly= "readonly" })
