Using MVC5 I Have the following defined in the model
[HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
public DateTime Created { get; set; }
I do not want this field to appear on any of the MVC generated views. However I am getting a label generated for this hidden field when scaffolding the views, as shown below.
What is the correct way to use this attribute so that the field and it's label are not output?
[HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
public int Id { get; set; }
will be rendered as
<input id="Id" name="Id" type="hidden" />
when using Html.EditorForModel() or Html.EditorFor(m => m.Id)
Check what is render in your UI, type="hidden" or something else.
You can simply use @Html.HiddenFor inside view as shown :-
Model :-
public DateTime Created { get; set; }
View :-
@Html.HiddenFor(model=>model.Created)
I know this is an old post but I'm experiencing the same thing. My view is set up as
<div class="form-group row">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Summary.LeaID, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "col-form-label col-md-3" })
<div class="col-md-9">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Summary.LeaID, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control"}})
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Summary.LeaID, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
And my Model is
[HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
public string LeaID { get; set; }
When the view renders, I get the label (LabelFor) yet the EditorFor is hidden correctly.
If your only problem is that the label is showing, then annotate the model property with a Display attribute:
[HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
[Display(Name ="")]
public string LeaID { get; set; }
If you do that, the label will not show but still you will have white space on the screen for where the LeaID segment was supposed to appear. Alternatively, you can manually change the view as Kartikeya Khosla has suggested.
