Html.TextboxFor default value for Integer/Decimal to be Empty instead of 0

Question

I am using the default asp.net MVC 2 syntax to construct TextBox\'s which are integer or decimal for my asp.net MVC web app:

<%: Html.TextBoxFor(model =&g         


        

Answer 1

What about "" instead of null.

    <%: Html.TextBox("Loan.InterestRate", 
Model.Loan.InterestRate == 0 ?     "" : Model.Loan.InterestRate) %>

Also why isnt Loan.InterestRate nullable?

<%: Html.TextBox("Loan.InterestRate", Model.Loan.InterestRate ?? "") %>
