Model Binding With Disabled Textbox

Question

I have a textbox that I am defining as

<%= Html.TextBox(\"Username\", Model.Form.Username, 
        new { @class = \"textbox\", @disabled = \"disabled\" }         


        

Answer 1

use readonly - will disable input but you'll still have it in the binding. You could apply a style on the div to make it looked greyed out maybe?

  @Html.LabelFor(model => model.FileName)


  @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.FileName, new { @readonly = true })
  @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FileName)
