MVC2: impossibile cambiare il nome con TextBoxFOR?

Question

Voglio definire manualmente ID e nome per TextBox in questo modo:

<%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name, new { @id = "txt1", @name = "txt1" })%>

.

Ma solo l'ID è cambiato, non l'attributo del nome, perché?

<input id="txt1" name="Name" type="text" value="">

.

Grazie!

Answer 1

You can't use the strongly typed lambda version for this, you'd need to use the older version

Html.TextBox("txt1",new {@id = "txt1"})

Answer 2

This is ok:

<%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name, new { Name = "txt1" })%> 

Do you write "Name" instead of "name"?

Output:

<input  name="txt1" type="text" value=""> 

Answer 3

Actually you can... just use Name with first letter capitalized instead of name:

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Property, new { Name = "myName" })

Answer 4

If you still need to use TextBoxFor(), you can change the name of the property on your model, which should be easy if you're using dedicated ViewModels as is recommended. However I admit it's a recommendation I don't always follow myself.
