How do I add the css class attribute to a textbox in razor?

Question

I have tried:

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName, new {@class='textbox'})

which isn't working.

Answer 1

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName, new {@class="textbox"})

A c# string literal does not take single quotes.

'textbox' -> "textbox"
