I am using this, an editor template (located in the Shared\EditorTemplates folder in my solution)
<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<System.DateTime?>" %>
<%=Html.TextBox("", (Model.HasValue ? Model.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") : string.Empty), ViewData )%>
and this in my view
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.ModifiedDate)
how to make this field readonly in the view
<%= Html.EditorFor(x => x.ModifiedDate, new { @readonly = "readonly" }) %>
UPDATE:
OK, now that you sent me the sample project here are the issues:
~/Views/Shared/EditorTempletes folder. It should be ~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates.You editor template must be called DateTime.ascx and not a DateTime.aspx. And because of this the header must look like this (use <%@ Control ... instead of <%@ Page ...):
<%@ Control
Language="C#"
Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<System.DateTime?>"
%>
<%= Html.TextBox(
"",
(Model.HasValue ? Model.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") : string.Empty),
ViewData
) %>
darin[DOT]dimitrov[AT]gmail[DOT]com.You can use:
@Html.DisplayFor()
Decorate the property with the [HiddenInput] Attribute from the System.Web.Mvc namespace.
I use to show read-only information this way:
@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.CadastradoEm, new { @class = "form-control" })
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.CadastradoEm)
You need to include a hidden input in addition to the display text, cause DisplayFor() doesn't generate a control that posts back
;)
