ASP.NET MVC 4 - Set input value using @Html.EditorFor

Question

Currently i have this field on a form:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.AmountDecimal, 
  new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })

But:

a) i want it to have the value "100" predefined

b) don't want it to be editable

I know how to do it in raw HTML but i need it to be in razor.

Thanks

The value will be taken from the Model's AmountDecimal, you can change it there. The disabled attribute you can add to the same anonymous object that already contains the class. — GSerg

It would make sense to set this value e.g. in the constructor of your model or in the controller before you call your view

public ActionResult MyAction()
{
    var model = new MyViewModel
    {
        AmountDecimal= 100
    };
    return View(model);
}

But if you really like to do it in razor, you may use HiddenFor

@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.AmountDecimal, new { @Value = "100" });
<input type="text" name = "dummy" class="form-control" value="100" readonly/>

Keep in mind to never trust a user input ;)

I think your are loooking for something like this:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.AmountDecimal, 
  new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control", @Value = "100", @readonly = "readonly"} })
