Default value for TextBoxFor in ASP.NET MVC

Question

In ASP.NET MVC, I wrote below code to give the textbox a initial value:

@Html.TextBoxFor(p => p.WEIGHT, new { tabindex = \"140\", 
                                


        

Answer 1

Use TextBox instead of TextBoxFor

@Html.TextBox("WEIGHT", Model.WEIGHT ?? "0", new {...})

or if WEIGHT is an empty string

@Html.TextBox("WEIGHT", Model.WEIGHT == "" ? "0" : Model.WEIGHT, new {...})
