Can I set text box to readonly when using Html.TextBoxFor?

Question

I have the following tag with a Html.TextBoxFor expression and I want the contents to be read only, is this possible?

<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => Model.E         


        

Answer 1

Use the following:

 @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Whatever, new {@readonly = "readonly"})

If you want to assign a class to it you could do it the same way , by adding the @class = "" property. Hope this helps :)
