@Value not working

Question

I am using the mvc Editor features but it seems that the @something doesn't work. I don't know why.

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Password, new { @Value = "xxx" })

This take the model value and not the "xxx".

Thanks a lot for your help !

Why are you adding an @ before `Value`? Remove it. – Daniel Hilgarth Oct 05 '12 at 08:09 — Daniel Hilgarth, Oct 05 '12 at 08:09

You don't need the @ in front of Value. As you have it already in front of Html. Remove it and it should work.

Nop I always have the model value and not the other with `@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Password, new { Value = "xxx" })` – MaT Oct 05 '12 at 08:11
The value used is not "xxx" but the model's (user) value. – MaT Oct 05 '12 at 08:14

You have to remove the second @. if you want your value to come from model, you have to write something like this,

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Password, new { value = Model.Password})

In either case you have to remove the second @ before value

if you want the value of the model to be shown you dont need the new { value = Model.Password}. @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Password) should be enough – middelpat Oct 05 '12 at 09:11
That would be correct. But the use of value would just be unnecessary. i agree the use of 'htmlattributes' does come in handy for other attributes – middelpat Oct 05 '12 at 10:26

The @Value works for TextBoxFor but not EditorFor (since it is generic...).
