Using ASP.NET MVC v2 EditorFor and DisplayFor with IEnumerable Generic types

Question

I have a IList as a property named Tags in my model. How do I name the files for display and editor templates to respect it when I call

Answer 1

I had the same problem today. Hope this helps:

forach(var tag in Tags) {
    <%= Html.EditorFor( _ -> tag) %>
}

If you absolutely want to do sth. like

Html.EditorFor(mymodel=>mymodel.Tags)

Then you will have to:

Create a UserControl (TagList.ascx) and add an UIHint attribute to MyModel

class MyModel {
     [UIHint("Taglist")]
     IList Tags {get; protected set;}
}
