I've tried one or two combinations of using the null propagation operator in an ASP.NET MVC 5.2.3 razor view but the compiler doesn't understand this syntax at all.

<input type="text" 
       name="Name" 
       class="form-control" 
       placeholder = "John Doe" 
       value = "@(Model?.Name)" />

Short of this, I will have to either use a ternary operator or wrap the whole thing in a large if (Model == null) statement with an else block. How do I avoid that?

Nope. It's a different question. – Water Cooler v2 Aug 12 '15 at 19:03

@WaterCoolerv2 Which version of Razor are you using? Also, what version of the .NET framework are you targeting? – Alex Booker Aug 12 '15 at 19:45
Why not just use `@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name, new { @class = "form-control", new placeholder ="John Doe")`? – Aug 13 '15 at 00:46
