Straightaway. In my model I have a field DistanceTravelled , it is of type double. Now whenever i want to display it using @Html.DisplayFor helper method, then I want the distance travelled value to be appended by "Km". For Example:
123 Km instead of 123
I can do that by placing Km at the end of @Html.DisplayFor helper. But I was hoping that there must be some data annotation attribute or some other simpler way.
Thanks for trying to help. :)
You can modify your ViewModel to something like this:
...
string DistanceTravelled {{ get { return String.Format("{0} km",this.DistanceTravelled; };set; }
...
But I think this won't work with your Doulble. Implicit convention between Double and string :(
Ok got it :)
In view model:
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
+
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString="{0}km")]
double DistanceTravelled {get;set;}
and this code below for Id=2:
@Html.DisplayFor(m=>m.Id)
renders as
2Km
You could use
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString="{0} km")]
public double DistanceTravelled {get;set;}
