DisplayFormat for TextBoxFor in MVC

Question

I need to round off 4 digit decimal to 2 digits and show in MVC 3 UI

Something like this 58.8964 to 58.90

Tried following this How should I

Answer 1

I solve that issue in this way:

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.dtArrivalDate, ModelMetadata.FromLambdaExpression(model => model.dtArrivalDate, ViewData).EditFormatString)

or create next extension:

public static class HtmlExtensions
{
    public static MvcHtmlString TextBoxWithFormatFor(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, Expression> expression, object htmlAttributes)
    {
        return htmlHelper.TextBoxFor(expression, ModelMetadata.FromLambdaExpression(expression, htmlHelper.ViewData).EditFormatString, htmlAttributes);
    }
}

But you need to set ApplyFormatInEditMode=true in DisplayFormatAttribute on your field.
