ASP.NET MVC3 Html.EditorFor() problem

Question

i try to bind data to model with Html.EditorFor() helper and submit, but model come to controller is null.

Here is code of model:

public class LogOnModel
{
    [LocalizedRequired]
    [LocalizedDisplayName("User Name")]
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    [LocalizedRequired]
    [DataType(DataType.Password)]
    [LocalizedDisplayName("Password")]
    public string Password { get; set; }

    [LocalizedDisplayName("Remember Me")]
    public bool RememberMe { get; set; }
}

this is cshtml:

@model Models.LogOnModel
{
    View.Title = "Log On";
}
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.UserName);
    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.Password);
    <input type="submit" value="LogOn" />
}

and html code is generate like this:

<input id="UserName_UserName" name="UserName.UserName" type="text" value="qwerty" />
<input id="Password_Password" name="Password.Password" type="password" />

it seems like error in html-generated code, it should be id="someid" value="somevalue", but not id="someid_someid" value="somevalue.somevalue"

Did you create your own Editor template? If so, could you post that code? — GvS

[DataType(DataType.Password)] with EditorFor worked fine for me. My id and name attributes were just "Password" like I expected. — RichC

Since you're just using textboxes you could always use the following

@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName);
    @Html.PasswordFor(m => m.Password);
   <input type="submit" value="LogOn" />
}

Otherwise it might depend on custom templates that you've created.

Hi You Can Solve it by just putting @type directive just like this:

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

<div class="textinput">@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m)</div> should work for you.

Why do you need an editor template for a simple string field? And, why do you feel necessary to use LocalizedRequired and LocalizedDisplayName instead of Required and DisplayName?

@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName);
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Password);
   <input type="submit" value="LogOn" />
}
