Adding class to EditorFor in MVC

Question

I want to show Enum in EditorFor. I use Editor Template for show it.(DropDownList).

I have malty EditorFor in view. I want to set class for

Answer 1

You can pass the class name to the EditorTemplate using AdditionalViewData.

In the main view

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.DocumentType, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "myclass" } })

and in the EditorTemplate

....
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m, values, ViewData["htmlAttributes"])

However including the logic for the SelectList in an EditorTemplate is not good practice. I would recommend your consider creating an extension method for generating the SelectList and then this EditorTemplate wont be required. Refer this example. And Selected = v.Equals(Model), is pointless because the Selected property will be ignored (the selected item will be the value of DocumentType)
