How to create a readonly text using html helper in asp.net mvc?

Question

I want to disable a textbox in the view. So I use following code:

<%= Html.TextBox(\"ID\", Model.ID, new { readonly=\"true\" })%>

or

Answer 1

Try

<%= Html.TextBox("ID", Model.ID, null, new { @readonly="true" })%>

instead of

<%= Html.TextBox("ID", Model.ID, new { @readonly="true" })%>

If you check the documentation, you can see that the third parameter is not htmlAttributes, as you probably expected.

You need to use the overload with four parameters.
