I have this controller:
public ActionResult Index(UserDetails user)
{
user.UserEmail = "Email";
return View();
}
And this lines
@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.UserEmail)
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserEmail)
How can I past a value from the controller in the view (in the input box for the UserEmail)?
Thanks for your help Stefan
Pass your UserDetails object to the view.
public ActionResult Index(UserDetails user)
{
user.UserEmail = "Email";
return View(user);
}
Assuming your razor view (Index.cshtml) is strongly typed to UserDetails
@model UserDetails
@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.UserEmail)
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserEmail)
There are multiple ways to pass values from the controller to the view.. I would use viewData and viewBag:
public ActionResult Index(UserDetails user)
{
user.UserEmail = "Email";
ViewData["ArbitraryName"] = user;
return View();
}
In your view:
@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.UserEmail)
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserEmail)
@{ var user = ViewBag.ArbitraryName;}
To access specific data from there, use @user.YourData
