Answer 1

As is already mentioned in this thread the suggested answer doesn't work in MVC5 anymore. There's actually an easy two step solution to that problem.

1. Assign a class to the HTML inputs you want to be disabled / enabled (id will do for a single item just as fine of course). In the example below I assigned a class 'switch-disabled' to the input.

@Html.TextBox("CompanyName", "", new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control switch-disable" } })

2. Use javascript(jquery) to enable / disable the disabled parameter in HTML. In my example below I do this at the page load.
