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

Maybe this? Untested.

@Html.TextBoxFor(p => (p.WEIGHT==null ? 0 : p.WEIGHT), new { tabindex = "140", 
      @class = "mustInputText noime  w50", 
      maxlength = "8",  
      rule = "InputOnlyNum" })
